Government Of The United States

Government Of The United States, registered in the federal procurement system with UEI NW2RJN8TQQW1, serves as a parent entity with a unique position within the federal contracting landscape. As a government-owned organization operating within the federal prison system, Government Of The United States—primarily through its subsidiary Federal Prison Industries, Inc., doing business as FPI Unicor—provides a diverse portfolio of manufactured goods and services to federal agencies while simultaneously fulfilling a rehabilitative mission by offering job training and workforce development opportunities for incarcerated individuals. This dual mandate distinguishes the organization from conventional commercial contractors and positions it as a wholly-owned government corporation with established contracting relationships across multiple federal agencies.

The prime federal contract awards demonstrate a broad spectrum of goods and services provided by FPI Unicor across numerous federal agencies and correctional institutions. Recent awards showcase the organization's manufacturing capabilities in medical and healthcare supplies, including inmate eyeglasses and prescription optical services valued at over $5,000 across multiple Federal Correctional Institution locations such as Miami, Greenville, and Oxford. Clothing and apparel represent a significant contract category, with major awards including a $33,097.20 clothing order for Federal Correctional Institution Manchester and a $27,948.09 inmate clothing and supplies contract for the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield, demonstrating substantial manufacturing capacity for correctional facility operations. The organization also fulfills procurement requirements for specialized industrial products, including a major $546,960 contract award for NBAF biocontainment filters from the Plains Area agency, indicating capability in technical and specialized manufacturing. Additionally, FPI Unicor supplies a wide range of office and administrative products through the Federal Acquisition Service, including calendars, appointment books, cable assemblies, security labels and forms (SF 700, 702, 703, 704, 706, 707, 708, 709, 710, 711, 712), fingerprint cards, industrial safety equipment including goggles and faceshields, bedding materials, washcloths, extension lights, and tarpaulins. All contract awards carry firm fixed-price structures with no set-aside designations applied, reflecting the organization's status as a government-owned entity competing without set-aside restrictions. The funding agencies demonstrate broad federal government utilization, including the Federal Acquisition Service, multiple Federal Correctional Institutions, the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield, Federal Correctional Institution Manchester, Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees, the United States Penitentiary Atlanta, and the Plains Area civilian agency. Contract vehicle types include Blanket Purchase Agreement calls, delivery orders, and purchase orders, with contract values ranging from nominal amounts under $100 to substantial awards exceeding $500,000.

Government Of The United States participates in the federal grant system primarily through sub-award mechanisms rather than as a prime grant recipient. The organization has received federal grant sub-awards from established academic institutions serving as prime grantees. Purdue University awarded a sub-grant related to "COOLSCREW: Holistic Optimization of a High Temperature Heat Pump System with Internally Cooled Screw Compressors" on February 24, 2025, indicating participation in energy and mechanical systems research and development initiatives. The University of Hawaii provided a sub-grant awarded on February 3, 2025, for "Leveraging the Mosquito Holobiont to Suppress Disease and Advance Avian Conservation," demonstrating involvement in biological research supporting disease suppression and conservation objectives. These sub-award grants suggest that Government Of The United States, through its various operational units, maintains research and development capabilities or participates in advanced technical projects sponsored by leading research institutions. The grant awards appear to focus on applied science and technology development rather than direct federal agency funding, with the organization serving in a supporting capacity to university-led research initiatives.

Government Of The United States maintains one active prime federal contract IDV in the form of a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement for "Berthing for FY26 DWE" awarded by the Navy Reserve on October 1, 2025. This BPA carries a ceiling value of $250,000 and extends through September 30, 2026, with no set-aside designation applied. The contract provides temporary berthing and lodging accommodations for Navy reservists during Fiscal Year 2026, supporting reservists stationed more than 50 miles from their assigned drill sites and providing essential temporary housing during training weekends and operational requirements at various geographic locations. The single-award structure enables flexible, streamlined procurement of accommodations across multiple performance locations, leveraging the contractor's existing infrastructure and capacity to deliver lodging services efficiently to the naval reserve community. The IDV is structured as an indefinite delivery vehicle that allows the Navy Reserve to issue calls against the established ceiling value as berthing requirements materialize throughout the fiscal year, streamlining the procurement process for temporary military accommodations while maintaining predictable pricing and service standards. This contract demonstrates the organization's capability to serve military personnel support functions beyond its traditional manufacturing and correctional facility operations.
