About the company
Federal Prison Industries, Inc., operating under the trade name Unicor, is a wholly owned government corporation within the U.S. Department of Justice that provides employment and vocational training opportunities to federal inmates while simultaneously serving as the mandatory source for numerous procurement needs across federal agencies. Unicor leverages inmate labor to manufacture a comprehensive range of products and services that support federal operations, primarily serving the Bureau of Prisons but also providing goods to other federal agencies including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and various U.S. Attorney's Offices. As a mandatory source under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 8.6, Unicor maintains a strategic position in federal procurement, enabling federal agencies to meet their operational needs while advancing the rehabilitative mission of the federal prison system by providing meaningful work and skill development to incarcerated individuals.
The contract award history for Unicor demonstrates the substantial breadth and volume of goods and services provided to federal agencies. The vast majority of Unicor's federal contract work consists of inmate clothing and apparel, including uniforms, pants, shirts, jackets, boots, boxers, socks, and specialized garments tailored to correctional operations. Beyond clothing, Unicor supplies a significant range of bedding and textile products such as mattresses, sheets, blankets, towels, and washcloths to Bureau of Prisons facilities nationwide. The corporation also manufactures protective equipment including ballistic vests, stab-resistant vests, and tactical gear for correctional staff at multiple correctional institutions. Additionally, Unicor produces office furniture and supplies, including chairs, tables, workstations, lockers, and related items for federal facilities. Specialized products in Unicor's portfolio include prescription eyeglasses for inmates, feminine hygiene items, filters, recreational and safety signage, and dining hall equipment. Contract awards have been issued by the Bureau of Prisons facilities across the country (including penitentiaries, correctional complexes, federal detention centers, and medical centers), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and U.S. Attorney's Offices, with contract values ranging from under $300 to over $750,000. All awarded contracts have been firm fixed-price purchase orders with no set-aside designations, reflecting Unicor's status as a mandatory source that operates outside traditional small business and minority-owned business enterprise preference programs.
