- Description
- On July 24, 2004, Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI) published a “good faith” notice in the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) regarding vehicular lighting under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) Code 6220, Electric Vehicular Lights and Fixtures. FPI last recorded sales in this FSC code in FY 2000 with the production of components for Remote Area Lighting System (RALS) at Lompoc. The notice explained that it was FPI’s belief that light bars, classified under FSC code 6220, are similar to the components for RALS which FPI produced at Lompoc, also classified under FSC code 6220. For this reason, FPI believes that light bars in FSC 6220 do not meet the definition of a "new product" as set forth by FPI's expansion guidelines. However, based on further research and analysis regarding the feasibility of FPI’s entry into this market, FPI will not pursue the production of lightbars at this time. Interested parties have a right to raise questions at any time with FPI’s Board of Directors. Any correspondence should be addressed to: Chief Administrative Officer, Research, Activation, and Corporate Support, Federal Prison Industries, Inc., 320 First Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20534. Attention: RACS Branch. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO WWW.FEDBIZOPPS.GOV ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (20-DEC-2004); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE. PLEASE CONTACT fbo.support@gsa.gov REGARDING THIS ISSUE.
