New Hampshire Job Corps Center with OA/CTS

The contract is a sole-source, fixed-price task order issued under an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to Adams and Associates, Inc. for the continued operation of the New Hampshire Job Corps Center located in Hillsborough, New Hampshire. The base period of performance spans 12 months from June 1, 2026, to May 31, 2027, with an optional six-month extension available under FAR 52.217-8, allowing for continued service without competition if needed. The award is justified under FAR 16.505(b)(2)(B) due to the unique and specialized nature of services provided by the incumbent contractor, which includes 24/7 residential support, academic instruction, career technical training, medical care, safety, and student transition services. These services rely heavily on established staff, subcontractor relationships, and community partnerships that cannot be replicated without significant disruption, making continuity the primary rationale for bypassing competition. The place of performance is exclusively at the Hillsborough facility, with inspection and acceptance occurring on-site by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration, which oversees the Job Corps program. No pricing details, cost estimates, or financial line items are disclosed, as the task order derives its cost structure from the prior incumbent contract and is subject to government cost analysis rather than competitive bidding. The contractor is not required to submit traditional representation or certification statements regarding small business status or socioeconomic designations, and no socioeconomic set-aside applies. Special contract requirements include an evaluated and cleared organizational conflict of interest, and no security clearances, packaging standards, or invoicing protocols are specified. The contracting office is located in Washington, DC, with no designated COR, COTR, or PCO contacts provided, and no formal evaluation factors or scoring criteria exist due to the non-competitive nature of the procurement. This task order serves to maintain seamless operations during the transition period as the government prepares for a future competitive solicitation to be issued in Q4 FY2026.
