Jason Morgan

Jason Morgan serves as the primary contracting lead for Federal Prison Industries, also known as Unicor, under the U.S. Department of Justice. In this role, he oversees the acquisition of goods and services that support the agency’s mission of providing vocational training and meaningful employment to incarcerated individuals through industrial production. His responsibilities include managing full lifecycle procurements—from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration—with a focus on construction, architectural design, and IT systems that enable Unicor’s manufacturing and operational infrastructure. He ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s rehabilitation and cost-efficiency goals. Morgan maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of trusted contractors, including Veterans Range Solutions, LLC, Krueger International, Inc., Veterans Environmental Group, LLC, Blind Industries and Services of Maryland, and Nightingale Corp. These partnerships reflect a preference for organizations with proven experience in institutional facility maintenance, environmental services, and specialized manufacturing. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and alignment with the agency’s unique operational environment. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Morgan consistently prioritizes small business participation, with 94.4% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. The remaining 5.6% are competed under the 8(a) program, demonstrating a deliberate focus on empowering disadvantaged business enterprises. His contracting patterns reflect a deep commitment to inclusive procurement and workforce development through targeted socioeconomic set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by architectural services (541310) and computer systems design (541512). He routinely acquires construction, renovation, and facility modernization services for federal correctional industrial sites, as well as technical systems that support inmate production workflows, reinforcing Unicor’s role as a mission-driven federal supplier.
