New Hampshire Job Corps Center with OA/CTS

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The U.S. Department of Labor, specifically the Office of Job Corps Acquisition Services, is seeking to award a sole-source, short-term task order to Adams and Associates, Inc. for the continued operation of the New Hampshire Job Corps Center (JCC). This action is necessary to ensure uninterrupted services while a competitive procurement process for a long-term contract is initiated and completed. Work Details The contractor will operate the New Hampshire Job Corps Center, which functions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The services provided include essential residential support (food and shelter), medical care, education, training, and career transition assistance for students in the Job Corps program. The task order aims to maintain these critical services without disruption during the transition period to a new contractor. The incumbent contractor has been operating the center for approximately five years and has established partnerships with local educational institutions and employers to facilitate student transitions into employment or further education. Period of Performance 12 months from June 1, 2026, to May 31, 2027, with an option to extend for up to 6 months. Place of Performance New Hampshire Job Corps Center. Bidder Requirements The justification states that only Adams and Associates, Inc. can provide the required services at the necessary quality level due to their unique qualifications and established community relationships. No other bidders are considered capable of delivering these services without causing disruption. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior contract 1605JE20C0004, awarded to Adams and Associates with a value of $71,895,984 for operations of the New Hampshire Job Corps Center with OA (Outreach and Admissions) and CTS (Career Transition Services). The described scope for the current short-term task order similarly focuses on continued 24/7 center operations and delivery of core Job Corps services, including outreach/admissions and career transition support, with additional operational and program elements that align with the prior award’s center-based service delivery.
