Job Skills Program - Program Delivery

New York's Office of Employee Relations is seeking a contract reporter ad exemption to extend a single-source contract with Capital Region Language Center LLC for 12 months to deliver Job Skills Program services statewide to New York State agencies and Civil Service Employees Association-represented employees, with the exemption request due October 6, 2026.

The current contract expires December 31, 2026, and OER states that a formal open competitive RFP process is not feasible before expiration. The contract covers statewide Job Skills Program delivery, including education, training, and related services to NYS agencies and CSEA-represented employees. Capital Region Language Center LLC may engage subcontractors, including certified service-disabled veteran-owned business (SDVOB) firms, to support statewide training delivery and meet Article 3 of the Veteran's Service Law requirements.

This is a sole-source extension governed by a contract reporter ad exemption rather than a competitive procurement. The absence of a competitive process and the single-source incumbent structure materially affect bid eligibility and competitive positioning.
