Quick Summary

The Department of Labor (DOL) has issued a Notice of Exception to Fair Opportunity for the continued operation of the Springdale Job Corps Center (JCC) with OA/CTS. This notice, posted for transparency in accordance with FAR 16.505(a)(4), is not a request for competitive proposals.

Purpose

The justification for an exception to fair opportunity (FAR 16.505(b)(2)) has been approved to award a sole-source, short-term, fixed-price task order to Career Systems Development Corporation. This ensures the uninterrupted provision of essential services at the Springdale JCC while a competitive procurement for a new, long-term contract is initiated and completed.

Contract Details

  • Type: Sole-source, short-term, fixed-price task order
  • Contractor: Career Systems Development Corporation (incumbent operator)
  • Service: Operation of the Springdale Job Corps Center, including residential services (food, shelter), medical care, education, training, and career transition support.
  • Period of Performance: June 1, 2026 - May 31, 2027
  • Estimated Value: $12,375,987.00
  • Rationale for Sole Source: The services are considered unique and highly specialized. The incumbent is deemed the only responsible source capable of providing immediate services without disruption, as awarding to a new contractor would require establishing numerous subcontracts and potentially disrupt services.

Future Procurement

A competitive solicitation for the long-term successor contract is anticipated in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2026, with an award expected before May 31, 2027.
