The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Jortex, Inc., a for-profit Subchapter S corporation, to provide mattress padding and related materials compliant with the Berry Amendment. The contract has a potential value of $643,482 and runs through January 2029. Under this IDV, the Bureau has issued Jortex multiple delivery orders since 2020 valued from $51,000 to $124,732.30 each for pads and materials linked to mattress operations at the UNICOR Atlanta location and other areas. The Bureau also awarded Jortex a $14,154 firm fixed price delivery order to provide Berry Amendment compliant mattress padding for delivery to Fairview, Texas, with a period of performance through April 2024. These contracts support the inmate housing and bedding programs operated by the Bureau of Prisons facilities across the country. The Bureau of Prisons' Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR) division previously issued a Request for Information seeking sources for raw materials used to produce mattresses for various government agencies. The RFI aimed to identify potential domestic and trade agreement designated country suppliers that could provide materials in compliance with the Berry Amendment or obtain waivers. Respondents were asked to provide information on estimated costs, delivery timeframes, and manufacturing capabilities.
