On or about February 11, 2025, the US Department of Labor (DOL), Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management (OASAM), Office of the Senior Procurement Executive (OSPE), Job Corps Acquisition Services (JCAS) anticipates issuing a Request for Proposal, (RFP), for Operation of the Gulfport Job Corps Center located at 3300 20th Street, Gulfport, MS 39501, which will include Outreach and Admissions (OA) and Career Transition Services (CTS) for eligible individuals participating in the Job Corps program. The RFP will be posted as a Full and Open Competition. The Job Corps program was originally established by the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964; current authorization for the program is authorized under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014. The Job Corps program is a national residential and non-residential training and employment program administered by the US Department of Labor to address multiple barriers to employment faced by disadvantaged youth, ages 16-24 years, throughout the United States. This effort requires the contractor to operate the aforementioned Job Corps center which includes provision of academic, career technical, career success and independent living skills, career readiness training, and support services, for a total planned On-Board Strength of 273, consisting of 228 residential and 45 non-residential students. At the beginning of the contract, the planned Onboard Student Strength (OBS) will start at a total of 191 students, and gradually increase to 273 students by the end of the two-year base period as follows: 10/01/2025 – 12/31/2025 (3 months) - Build-up OBS from 191 to 212 01/01/2025 – 09/30/2027 (21 months) - Build-up OBS from 212 to 273 The contractor shall also operate residential quarters (housing) and services for all students as applicable.

Job Corps operators will also be required to participate in the operation of a Job Corps Transition Hub (JCTH) with a student OBS of 15. This Advanced Training (AT) pilot program allows students to extend their enrollment by one full year beyond the current two-year enrollment limitation. Program participants will receive training that allows them to develop higher and more complex skills and competencies than those covered by the basic programs. JCTH-AT programs are designed to offer advanced training as it relates to Career Transition Readiness Services such as housing, transportation, and connection to employers and the workforce system. The contractor shall ensure the annual arrival of a minimum of 366 students to the Gulfport Job Corps Center through the end of the Base Period of Performance 10/01/2025 – 09/30/2027, and increase to 497 thereafter.
