COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF JULY 31,1996 PSA#1648INFORMATION TO OFFERORS. POC Andra Rebar, (202)219-8550. As a matter of
policy, the Office of Job Corps encourages competition and seeks to
afford the opportunity to compete for contracts to operate Job Corps
centers, and/or to provide outreach/admission and placement services,
to as many new potential offerors as possible, hereafter referred to as
``Firms''. To that end, the Office of Job Corps has developed a
multi-step process for keeping the contractor community informed and
involved in the Job Corps program. Following is a brief description of
this multi-step process. 1) The National Director and the 9 Regional
Directors/Contracting Officers are available and open to discussions
regarding program content and the procurement process. To arrange an
appointment, interested firms may reach the offices at the following

orientation session for Firms with the capability to operate a Job

placement services (SIC 8331) will be held periodically. The session

Corps center. The fourth annual orientation session will be held from
September 23-27, 1996 in Washington, DC. All participants must register
