About Federal Prison Industries, Inc.

Federal Prison Industries, Inc., operating under the trade name Unicor Metal Products Division, is a wholly-owned government corporation established to provide employment and job training opportunities for federal inmates while manufacturing specialized products and services for federal agencies. As a mandatory source under the Javits-Wagner-O'Day Act AbilityOne program, the organization receives preferential contracting treatment from federal procurement offices. Unicor operates manufacturing facilities across multiple states, including Arizona, Illinois, Kentucky, and Washington, D.C., leveraging its inmate workforce to produce electrical components, mechanical equipment, furniture, and specialized aviation parts. The organization's primary mission combines recidivism reduction through meaningful employment with meeting critical federal government procurement needs.

Unicor has demonstrated extensive contracting activity across multiple federal agencies, with the vast majority of its recent contract awards concentrated in specialized aviation components supplied to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The organization has delivered hundreds of delivery orders for cable assemblies in various configurations, including power electrical cables, specialized purpose assemblies, radio frequency cables, and switching assemblies. Additionally, Unicor has supplied lead storage batteries, wiring harnesses in multiple variants, cable-periscopes for aircraft vision systems, electrical cords with connectors, plugs and jumpers, and lampholders to support military aircraft and weapons systems. Beyond aviation components, the organization has received contract awards from the General Services Administration for ordnance weapons spare parts bags manufactured according to Rock Island Arsenal specifications, the U.S. Air Force for furniture provision and installation at military installations, and the Department of Justice for Unicor facility installations. Contract awards have consistently carried firm fixed-price structures with no set-aside designations, reflecting Unicor's mandatory source status. Award values have ranged from under $700 for individual components to over $400,000 for major furniture and equipment orders, demonstrating the organization's capacity to fulfill both small and large-scale government procurement requirements.

Unicor maintains three active indefinite delivery contracts with Defense Logistics Agency Aviation that establish the primary framework for its federal contracting activity. The largest of these IDVs, awarded on April 11, 2022, carries a ceiling value of $15,603,496.12 and extends through April 10, 2027, covering cable assemblies and power equipment that constitute the bulk of Unicor's aviation component manufacturing. A second single-award IDV valued at $1,786,883.40 and expiring July 26, 2027 specifically addresses cable-periscope production, a specialized component for aircraft vision systems requiring precision manufacturing. The third IDV, designated as a total small business set-aside contract with a $250,000 ceiling value and expiration of March 14, 2027, covers radio cable assemblies and related electrical components. Collectively, these three contracts provide ceiling values exceeding $17.6 million and enable DLA Aviation to issue delivery orders on an as-needed basis to maintain consistent supply of critical electrical and mechanical components supporting the Department of Defense's global defense supply chain. The delivery orders issued under these IDVs demonstrate sustained demand, with task orders spanning from September 2023 through at least January 2026, indicating ongoing reliance on Unicor's manufacturing capabilities for maintaining military readiness across aircraft and weapons systems.
