Delivery Order #47QSWA26F199K

Sole-Source Washcloth Delivery Order to Federal Prison Industries

This award represents a delivery order under a long-term, sole-source indefinite delivery requirements (IDV) contract with Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI), a government-owned corporation operating correctional facility manufacturing programs. FPI specializes in producing textiles for federal agencies, focusing here on providing all-cotton, bleached white terry washcloths conforming to stringent federal specifications and environmental packaging standards prohibiting plastic materials. The contract ensures a reliable supply of essential hygienic items while supporting FPI's mission to provide job training and employment for incarcerated individuals. The scope includes delivering washcloths of specific size and fiber content consistent with prior bedding products under the overarching IDV framework. This multi-year agreement, ongoing since 2013 under a sole-source basis due to FPI's unique rehabilitation mandate, reflects a social impact initiative combined with operational efficiency for federal procurement. The current delivery order covers a short-term timeframe and is performed at Terre Haute, Indiana, without involvement of subcontractors. This continued partnership reinforces FPI’s role in fulfilling federal textile needs through an established government contract vehicle.
