- Description
- Under the terms of FPI's expansion guidelines, published March 12, 1997 in the Federal Register, and March 25, 1997 in the Commerce Business Daily, FPI submits the following "good faith announcement" for public notice and comment. FPI proposes to manufacture boxer shorts for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Boxer shorts are classified under FSC 8420, Underwear and Nightwear, Men's. At this time, UNICOR produces brown undershirts under FSC 8420. FPI also produces shorts and trunks, under FSC 8415, Clothing, Special Purpose. The NAICS code for boxer shorts can be either 315211, men's & boys' cut and sew apparel contractors or 315221, men's & boys' cut and sew underwear and nightwear manufacturing. FPI currently manufactures products in those NAICS codes. Therefore, FPI does not consider this to be a "new product." FPI recognizes that a reasonable person may construe boxer shorts (FSC 8420) to be a product separate and distinct from any other item supplied by FPI. Under the terms of FPI's expansion guidelines, interested parties may submit comments regarding this proposed production by FPI. In submitting comments to FPI, the following guidelines will apply: 1) Comments will be due within 21 days of the date of this notice; 2) Relevant comments will focus on and address why the items should be considered new products, separate and distinct from a similar item currently produced by FPI; 3) While the primary purpose of the comments will be to determine if the items should be defined as new products, comments related to market share and/or the impact resulting from such a production decision may also be considered relevant. All comments received in response to this announcement will be considered by FPI. All commenters will be advised when FPI makes a final determination. Any interested party has a right to raise any question at any time with FPI's Board of Directors. All comments should be addressed to: Chief, Strategic Business Development and Marketing Branch, Federal Prison Industries, Inc., 320 First Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20534.
