Indefinite Delivery Contract W9124D25DA015

This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded on September 30, 2025, to Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (UNICOR) by the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), a Defense agency within the U.S. Department of the Army. The contract carries a ceiling value of $6.135 million with an ultimate completion date of September 29, 2030, representing a five-year performance period. The procurement was established as a single award without set-aside designation, reflecting UNICOR's status as a mandatory source for federal supply. The contract supports TRADOC's Army organizational structures (3/5/7) and the G-35 directorate in fulfilling Personnel Protection Items (PPI) requirements for Fiscal Year 2026 and beyond. The primary procurement objective identified in the solicitation is the acquisition of Army cinch bags to satisfy approved PPI inventory needs under Defense Logistics Agency classification 6861.00.00, with the requesting unit identified as TRADOC 3/5/7 under the oversight of Requestor Johnny M. Wells.

UNICOR's selection as the prime contractor aligns with the organization's established role as a provider of military apparel, individual equipment, and related textile products to the Department of Defense. As a wholly owned government corporation within the U.S. Department of Justice, UNICOR manufactures goods through federal inmate labor programs, providing both employment training and fulfilling mandatory source requirements for federal agencies. The cinch bag procurement falls within UNICOR's existing product portfolio of individual protective equipment and field gear, which has historically included MOLLE field packs, grenade carriers, canteen pouches, and similar items delivered through Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Clothing and Textiles channels. This IDC structure permits the issuance of multiple task orders throughout the five-year performance period to accommodate TRADOC's evolving operational requirements and inventory management needs.
