Embroidery Machines

The U.S. Department of Justice, through Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR), is soliciting either two 12-head or three 8-head commercial industrial-grade multi-head embroidery machines under solicitation CT2385-26a, a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 423830. The requirement is for delivery and on-site installation at UNICOR’s facility in Jesup, Georgia, with no specified contract value or pricing detailed in the solicitation. Proposals are due by 7:00 AM ET on May 29, 2026, and must be submitted to the designated point of contact, Adam McCammack, though no formal submission portal or format instructions are provided. The contract imposes stringent security, compliance, and personnel requirements under FAR Part 12 as a commercial item acquisition. All personnel with access to DOJ systems or facilities must undergo background investigations aligned with Tier 2 or Tier 4 risk levels, obtain DCSA processing if handling classified National Security Information, and complete mandatory security training and non-disclosure agreements. Contractors must enforce NIST SP 800-series controls, maintain FedRAMP authorization for any cloud services, implement a supply chain risk management plan per NIST SP 800-161, and ensure all data handling complies with FISMA and the Privacy Act. Any PII breach must be reported to the DOJ Security Operations Center within one hour, and all DOJ data must be sanitized or returned within 90 days or upon request. Use of contractor-owned media for DOJ data is prohibited without explicit authorization, and systems must be under a valid Authority to Operate. The contract includes no option periods, and award will be determined based on compliance with mandatory security and technical criteria, with technical acceptability serving as a prerequisite, indicating a trade-off selection process focused on risk mitigation over price.
