UNICOR RFQ Circuit Breaker, Inductor/Reactor, Box, and moreFederal Prison Industries, operating under the Department of Justice, is soliciting quotations for electrical components including circuit breakers, inductors/reactors, and associated boxes under solicitation number PH26-105FB, which is a total small business set-aside as defined by FAR 19.5. The solicitation is open exclusively to small business concerns, and offerors must certify their small business status and socioeconomic classifications through FAR 52.219-1, with compliance required for SAM.gov registration via FAR 52.204-7. All submissions must be sent electronically to Contracting Officer Marlea Clark at marlea.clark@usdoj.gov no later than July 29, 2026, and no telephone inquiries are permitted—all questions must be submitted in writing via email only.

Deliveries must be made to UNICOR Federal Prison Industries at 37940 No. 46th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85086, and must be completed within the delivery timeframe specified upon award. The contract requires compliance with MIL-PRF-39019/2 for circuit breakers and DWG#A3019223 for inductors/reactors, with no substitutions allowed without authorization. Components must conform to specified part numbers and qualified product lists, and acceptance will occur at the Phoenix delivery site. Payment will be processed by the UNICOR FPI Central Acct Payable at PO Box 11849, Lexington, KY 40578-1849. While the solicitation includes standard FAR clauses related to commercial item procurement, trafficking in persons, and diversity and inclusion compliance, it lacks detailed packaging, marking, preservation, or inspection procedures beyond referencing inherent military specifications. No contract options, COR appointments, or specific FOB terms are defined, and while line items are listed, pricing for the majority of materials is missing, rendering the total estimated value speculative and incomplete. Faith-based and community-based organizations are eligible to submit quotes on an equal basis.

MAIN KITCHEN EQUIPMENTThe solicitation for main kitchen equipment, identified by number 19PM0726Q0007, was issued by the U.S. Embassy in Panama City under the Department of State to procure commercial refrigeration units and a gas grill for the Chief of Mission Residence in Panama City. The equipment includes two refrigerators, two freezers, and one gas charbroiler, all of which must be new, non-refurbished, and compliant with NSF/ANSI 7, OSHA, EM 385-1-1, and Department of State diplomatic security standards. Delivery is required F.O.B. destination at the embassy residence, with installation and full operational readiness as mandatory conditions. Offerors must demonstrate a local repair and maintenance capability in Panama or provide a liability delegation agreement with a local representative. The contract includes stringent requirements for warranty coverage—minimum one year for parts and labor and three years for compressors—and mandates full disclosure of any artificial intelligence use in performance under DOSAR 652.239-801, including data handling, governance, and risk mitigation practices. All offerors must be registered in SAM with an active UEI, and non-compliance with SAM maintenance or debarment provisions disqualifies eligibility. The evaluation approach follows a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology, where proposals are assessed for binary technical acceptability and price minimization, with no consideration for superior performance or additional features. Proposals must be submitted electronically via email to PNMPROCREQ@state.gov by the revised deadline of May 21, 2026, with no page limits but full documentation required including specifications, warranty terms, and SAM registration proof. Despite the detailed technical and compliance requirements, the solicitation was ultimately canceled via Amendment #4 due to insufficient funding, rendering all prior terms null and void. Payment terms are governed by fixed-price invoicing procedures and electronic funds transfer through SAM, but no specific accounting codes, payment office details, or invoicing platform like WAWF are identified. Security clauses restrict foreign access and data handling in alignment with FAR 52.240-91, and excise tax exceptions apply under the international delivery context. Though the contract value was not established, the cancellation reflects the absence of appropriated funds to support the procurement.
