FPI Production in FSC code 8420 - Follow-up

Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI) issued a notice on January 9, 2009, indicating its intent to manufacture boxer shorts for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. These boxer shorts fall under the Federal Supply Classification (FSC) code 8420, which covers men's underwear and nightwear. Since FPI already produces related items such as brown undershirts within the same FSC code and shorts/trunks under a different FSC code (8415), this addition was not considered a new product line for the organization. The NAICS codes relevant to this production are 315211 and 315221, and FPI confirmed its current manufacturing activities within these classifications, supporting continuity in its product offerings. No objections or comments were received during the 21-day comment period following the notice posting, which further solidified the classification of boxer shorts under FSC 8420 without designating them as new products. FPI remains open to inquiries from interested parties, who may address concerns directly to the Chief of Strategic Business Development and Marketing at their Washington, D.C. office. The solicitation, referenced under number SBDM-03-2009 and associated with NAICS code 315211, was posted on February 27, 2009, under the Department of Justice. The primary contact for this contract is Yvette K Hairston-Mercer, reachable via email or phone for further information.
