Arbor E & T LLC

Arbor E & T LLC, doing business as Rescare RWS Employer Solutions, operates Job Corps centers and workforce development programs for the federal government as a prime contractor on a single-award indefinite delivery contract and as a subrecipient on federal grants, competing without set-asides across the Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services, and state workforce agencies. The vendor is a foreign-owned for-profit organization headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, with a primary footprint in educational and vocational training services (NAICS 611710, PSC U002).

The vendor's prime federal contracting is concentrated in a single dominant vehicle: the Department of Labor's Indefinite Delivery Contract 1605JE22D0017 for contingency operations of Job Corps centers nationwide, awarded November 10, 2021, with a ceiling of $734.9 million and ultimate completion date of November 16, 2026. Four delivery orders under this IDC account for $265.5 million in combined potential value. The largest single prime award is a $156.6 million definitive contract issued February 28, 2023, to operate the Gary Job Corps Center in San Marcos, Texas, through June 30, 2026. Other representative prime work includes a $95.3 million definitive contract awarded February 6, 2023, for operation of two Job Corps centers in Puerto Rico (Ramey and Arecibo) through February 29, 2028; a $68.5 million definitive contract issued April 1, 2024, for the Penobscot Job Corps Center in Bangor, Maine, running through April 30, 2029; and a $42.4 million delivery order dated March 16, 2026, for the Treasure Island Job Corps Center in San Francisco through September 30, 2027. These prime awards cover comprehensive residential center operations—academic instruction, vocational training, outreach and admissions, and career transition services—for disadvantaged youth aged 16 to 24.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of Labor Office of Job Corps on the prime side, which accounts for the vast majority of combined potential value (the top five identified customers by dollar value are all Job Corps center operations). On the sub-award side, the vendor acts as a subrecipient on federal grants distributed through state agencies, with significant volume from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (FSET—Food Support and Employment Training—programs), Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (Transform Milwaukee Jobs Program, Wisconsin Works administration, Transitional Jobs), the Arizona Department of Economic Security (TANF—Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), the Idaho Department of Labor (WIOA—Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), the Rhode Island Department of Human Services (RI Works), and the Virginia Department of Social Services (SNAP E&T—Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training, and Employment Advancement). The vendor also subcontracts to Chugach Training and Educational Solutions, LLC, on a sub task for the Cleveland Job Corps Center outreach, admissions, career services, and career transition work (subcontract definitized September 19, 2024).

Prime awards account for only 10% of the vendor's total awards (10 primes out of 96 total), but represent approximately 87% of the $1.29 billion combined potential value across all federal work. Sub-awards (contract and grant sub-awards) represent 90% of award count (86 sub-awards) but a small dollar share relative to the prime concentration. The vendor's award activity was sparse through 2021 (2 awards), then accelerated significantly in 2023 (31 awards) and 2024 (31 awards), with 26 awards in 2025 and 3 through early 2026. Three awards with ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $172.2 million and represent near-term recompete exposure, principally the Wind River Job Corps Center delivery order (August 31, 2026) and the Woodstock Job Corps Center delivery order (September 30, 2025).

Service Contract Inventory data captures limited visibility into the vendor's actual performance revenue. SCI records show 18 total records (17 as prime, 1 as named subcontractor) spanning fiscal years 2022 through 2024, but with zero invoiced revenue reported across all three fiscal years. The SCI dataset shows approximately 42.8 FTEs delivered to federal contracts in FY2024 (across 7 prime and 1 sub record), with no FTE activity reported in FY2022 or FY2023. The zero-revenue reporting suggests either delayed SCI submission cycles relative to award dates, invoice timing misalignment with the fiscal-year snapshot, or that the largest Job Corps awards are reported through alternate mechanisms. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, sub-hours share averaged zero percent, indicating the vendor builds its own delivery teams rather than relying on subcontractors for Job Corps center operations.
