About the company
Eckerd Youth Alternatives, Inc., doing business as Ewes-Eckerd Youth Challenge, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, operates as a federal grant recipient and contract performer delivering youth workforce development, foster care prevention, early childhood education, and job training services to the Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services, and Department of Agriculture. The organization acts as a prime recipient on direct federal grants (37% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient funneling federal grant funds through state and local grantees (63% of recent awards), with no direct federal prime contract awards in the source portfolio aside from a single large definitive contract with the Department of Labor.
The organization's federal footprint concentrates heavily in human services. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for nine sub-grant awards under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), flowing through the Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services Florida and the City & County of Denver. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families carries six direct grant awards and four sub-grant awards spanning Early Head Start child care partnerships, basic center programs for homeless youth, and foster care prevention services. The Department of Labor dominates potential value: a single definitive contract awarded November 1, 2021, to operate the Potomac Job Corps Center in Washington, DC carries a ceiling value of $89.3 million running through October 31, 2026, under a two-year base period plus three one-year options. The contract requires operation for 378 students with annual admissions of a minimum of 650 students across the center, delivering academic training, career technical education, independent living skills, and outreach and admissions services for the District of Columbia workforce development area. The RFP was restricted to not-for-profit offerors.
Activity has accelerated recently — one award each in 2022 and 2023, rising to eight awards in 2024 and five in 2025 — with the single largest recompete exposure arriving in the next twenty-four months: the Potomac Job Corps Center contract (combined potential value $89.3 million) reaches ultimate completion on October 31, 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards total $215.9 million, exceeding the combined potential value by 142 percentage points, indicating that earlier-year funding obligations on the Potomac contract have already been drawn. Sub-grant work flows through the Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services Florida (NSLP pass-throughs), the Kansas Department for Children and Families (foster care prevention and adoption services), and the City & County of Denver (workforce IT and advanced manufacturing training partnership). The organization operates through a named subsidiary, Odle Management Group, L.L.C., a for-profit limited liability company.
