About this opportunity
UNICOR (Federal Prison Industries, Inc.), a Department of Justice component listed under the Bureau of Prisons Correctional Facilities agency, is preparing to procure 100 percent polyester terry microfiber fabric for its military washcloth production line, with market research responses due by 2:00 PM EST on Monday, November 23, 2026. No set-aside is used, and the notice states it does not constitute an RFP, RFQ, or commitment to award. Production is at UNICOR's factory in Terre Haute, Indiana. The fabric must be 400-filament construction with 48 filaments warp per inch, warp knitted with polyester scrim, minimum 12.25 inches wide with negotiable length, and brown shade 436. It must meet the physical requirements in Purchase Description GL/PD-11-09A and conform to the Berry Amendment for all fiber, yarn, fabric manufacturing, dyeing, and finishing operations. The estimated minimum monthly requirement is 16,000 yards. UNICOR seeks a 1-year base period with four optional years and a 120-day production lead time following award. Materials must ship palletized, banded, and strapped with roll tickets, Certificates of Conformance, test results, and component traceability documentation, and missing documentation results in shipment rejection. The RFI requests company information, poly terry production experience, monthly capacity, standard lead times, scaling ability, current federal customers, U.S.-origin content with identified suppliers and facilities, and subcontractors for greige fabric and dyeing/finishing if the respondent is not the direct manufacturer. Responses go by email to Renee Stancil at Renee.Stancil@usdoj.gov.
