FABRIC

Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR) is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market data for a potential five‑year contract to supply a variety of fabrics (colors, grades, styles, including antimicrobial options) for its Office Furniture Group’s seating and panel products. The goal is to shape a future RFP, broaden the pool of domestic small‑business vendors, and understand lead times, pricing indexes, and order quantities. Respondents must indicate interest, U.S. manufacturing status, small‑business registration, and provide market‑standard information. Responses are due by 12:00 PM EST on September 4, 2026. • Potential five‑year supply agreement for multiple fabric types used in ergonomic, lounge, and system‑furniture manufacturing. • Delivery to Federal Prison Industries facilities in Allenwood, PA; Beckley, WV; and Coleman, FL. • Emphasis on domestically‑produced fabrics and small‑business participation. • Information sought includes lead times, pricing indices for economic adjustments, and standard order quantities. • No commitment to award a contract; the RFI is purely for market research.
