Career Systems Development Corporation

Career Systems Development Corporation, a subsidiary of Owl Education and Training, Inc., operates Job Corps centers nationwide for the Department of Labor as a prime contractor, delivering vocational training, academic education, and wraparound support services for disadvantaged youth ages 16 to 24 under full-and-open competition with no set-aside designations.

Career Systems Development Corporation is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in West Henrietta, New York, operating as a child entity under parent Owl Education and Training, Inc. The vendor's award footprint is entirely concentrated in Job Corps center operations and related employment and training services for the Department of Labor. The company holds primary NAICS 611710 (colleges, universities, and professional schools) and PSC code U002, with category concentration heavily weighted toward "Other Technical and Trade Schools" (64 awards) and "Education/Training—Vocational/Technical" work (29 awards).

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration accounts for 147 awards with $3.43 billion combined potential value, and the Department of Labor Office of Job Corps accounts for 31 total awards across multiple sub-entities with $1.25 billion to $1.52 billion in combined potential value. These two clusters represent 85% of all awards by count and 87% of combined potential value. All 216 awards in the source are prime contracts; the vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with zero sub-award activity.

The vendor holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Department of Labor's Office of Job Corps, valued at $717.5 million with ultimate completion November 16, 2026, which authorizes nationwide contingency operations for Job Corps centers through fixed-price task orders. Representative recent awards include a $91.3 million definitive contract for operation of the South Bronx Job Corps Center through September 30, 2028 (awarded August 10, 2023), a $57.3 million definitive contract for operation of the Ottumwa Job Corps Center through May 31, 2028 (awarded June 1, 2023), a $26.7 million delivery order for Springdale Job Corps Center operations through May 31, 2026 (awarded February 16, 2024), and a $25.3 million delivery order for Roswell Job Corps Center operations through August 31, 2026 (awarded February 15, 2024). Work is performed at individual Job Corps centers located within the United States and its territories.

Activity has been sparse over the past five years — one to four awards per year from 2019 to 2026 — but the vendor commands a large installed base with $2.9 billion obligated against $7.96 billion combined potential value across 216 awards dating to 1990. Five awards with combined potential value $244.9 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and thus carry recompete exposure.
