FedBizOpps Notice: FPI Production of Vehicle Jacks FSC codes 2540 & 5120

This notice announces FPI’s intentions to produce vehicle jacks for the Department of Defense on a competitive basis and not use its mandatory source status.

Once a product is sold competitively by FPI, it remains a competitive product and will never be added to FPI’s Schedule of Products as a mandatory source product. FPI will not attempt to exercise its mandatory source at some future point in time nor seek from its Board of Directors to expand production of the product by invoking the guidelines process at some later date. It has been previously determined by the FPI Board of Directors that whatever share of the market FPI acquires on a competitive basis will be deemed to be a reasonable share of the market within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 4122(b)(2). Sales of products manufactured under this procedure will be tracked and recorded separately by FPI as is the case for subcontracting and services.

Interested parties have a right to comment or raise questions with FPI’s Board of Directors. All written correspondence should be addressed to: Chief, Strategic Business Development and Marketing Branch, Federal Prison Industries, Inc., 320 First Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20534. All comments received will be provided to the Board of Directors.
