Description: Combined Synopsis/Solicitation Solicitation Number: IS0146-15 Agency: Department of Justice/ Federal Bureau of Prisons Office: Federal Prison Industries Location: Washington, DC Synopsis: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with FAR 12.6, Streamlined Procedures for Commercial Items, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This acquisition is being conducted under FAR 13.5, Test Program Procedures for commercial items. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is IS0146-15. The solicitation is issued as a Request for Proposals (RFP). Provisions and clauses in effect through the most current Federal Acquisition Circular are incorporated. It is the contractor's responsibility to be familiar with the applicable clauses and provisions. The clauses may be accessed in full text at the following address: www.acquisition.gov. This is a Full and Open Competition requirement; all qualified vendors are encouraged to submit a proposal. Description of Federal Prison Industries: Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI), which operates under the trade name UNICOR, is a wholly-owned Government Corporation within the Department of Justice, under the Federal Prison system. The Corporation was created by Congress in 1934, and provides employment, education, and training opportunities to inmates under federal custody. FPI operates more than 100 factories at approximately 70 locations. FPI's product lines are extensive, producing products and services in over 80 different Federal Supply Classes for sale to Federal agencies. Its business groups include Electronics, Office Furniture, Clothing & Textiles, Industrial Products, Fleet & Vehicular, Services, and Recycling. FPI is also a service provider, to include call centers, recycling center and distribution centers to the private sector in cases where the services would otherwise be performed outside of the U.S. FPI's mission is to employ and provide training to the greatest practicable number of inmates in federal correctional facilities. FPI employs a large number of inmates to ensure the safe and secure operation of such institutions. FPI must be market competitive in terms of price, quality and delivery. FPI operates in a self-sustaining manner while minimizing potential negative impact on private sector business and labor. The inmates benefit from industrial education, as well as earning wages. Employment of inmates by FPI substantially reduces recidivism. FPI is interested in entering into business agreements with private sector firms to produce any of a variety of products and/or services using federal facilities and federal inmate labor. FPI requests responses from qualified sources capable of providing new products and/or service arrangements that would be sold to federal agencies and be produced by FPI under subcontract or otherwise in alliance with the successful offerors. FPI may also sell certain products and services to the private sector in cases where these products and/or services would otherwise be performed outside of the U.S., or where federal inmate labor is utilized under the conditions of the Prison Industry Enhancement Certification Program (PIECP). In addition, FPI is looking for individuals and companies ("offerors") to broker new business opportunities with new potential partners (whether private companies or government agencies), and may choose to award a business broker's fee to such individuals and companies when these opportunities are actualized. The type and amount of business broker's fee will depend on the role of the offeror in the new business partnership. Strategic Business Development Program: Federal Prison Industries currently has business agreements with private sector firms to provide products and services to the Federal Government, as well as services to the private sector in cases where the services would otherwise be performed outside of the U.S. For some business agreements, FPI provides fully equipped and staffed factories and manufactures products and provides services as turn-key operations for its private sector partners. For other agreements, FPI simply provides inmate labor and the physical factory space for industrial operations or service. For a more detailed description of FPI and its operations, please visit http://www.unicor.gov/fpi_contracting/. Miscellaneous: FPI reserves the right to accept or reject proposals received. This notice fulfills FAR Part 5 publication requirements for individual proposals received and meets CICA requirements. Therefore, the intent is to enter into negotiations and/or to contract for new products and services in response to this announcement, which intent to enter will not be published on Fed Biz Ops. Any materials or supply items that FPI procures for its use under the cooperative venture will be on a competitive basis. BEST COMMERCIAL CUSTOMER CATEGORY: Contractor agrees that FPI is in the category of the most favored or best commercial customer category of the Contractor and as such, the Contractor will: During the contract period, the Contractor shall report to the Contracting Officer all price reductions offered to the category of customers that are considered by the Contractor to be their most favored or best commercial customer. 1. A price reduction shall apply to purchases under this contract if, after the award date, the Contractor- i) Revises downward its commercial catalog, price list, schedule, etc., to its best commercial customers (or category of customers) below the awarded price under this contract; ii) Grants more favorable discounts or terms and conditions to its best commercial customers than those contained in this contract that would result in prices below the awarded price under this contract, an/or iii) Grants special discounts to its best commercial customer (or category of customers) that would result in prices lower than the awarded price under this contract. 2. The Contractor shall offer the price reduction to FPI with the same effective date, and for the same time period, as extended to the commercial customer (or category of customers). The Contractor may offer the Contracting Officer a voluntary price reduction at any time during the contract period. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of any price reduction subject to this clause as soon as possible, but not later than 15 calendar days after its effective date. Future requirements for these or similar items from this or other UNICOR factories may be added to the resulting contract if considered to fall within the scope of work and the price is determined to be fair and reasonable. Regulatory Requirements: If the end customer for the project is the Department of Defense, then the DFAR will apply.

"Qualification requirement," as used in this clause, means a Government requirement for testing or other quality assurance demonstration that must be completed before award. (b) One or more qualification requirements apply to the supplies or services covered by this contract. For those supplies or services requiring qualification, whether the covered product or service is an end item under this contract or simply a component of an end item, the product, manufacturer, or source must have demonstrated that it meets the standards prescribed for qualification before award of this contract. The product, manufacturer, or source must be qualified at the time of award whether or not the name of the product, manufacturer, or source is actually included on a qualified products list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list. Offerors should contact the agency activity designated below to obtain all requirements that they or their products or services, or their subcontractors or their products or services, must satisfy to become qualified and to arrange for an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to meet the standards specified for qualification.

This is necessary whether the Contractor or a subcontractor will ultimately provide the product or service in question. If, after award, the Contracting Officer discovers that an applicable qualification requirement was not in fact met at the time of award, the Contracting Officer may either terminate this contract for default or allow performance to continue if adequate consideration is offered and the action is determined to be otherwise in the Government's best interests. (e) If an offeror, manufacturer, source, product or service has met the qualification requirement but is not yet on a qualified products list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list, the offeror must submit evidence of qualification prior to award of this contract. Unless determined to be in the Government's interest, award of this contract shall not be delayed to permit an offeror to submit evidence of qualification. (f) Any change in location or ownership of the plant where a previously qualified product or service was manufactured or performed requires reevaluation of the qualification. Similarly, any change in location or ownership of a previously qualified manufacturer or source requires reevaluation of the qualification.
