Jennifer Cutshall

Jennifer Cutshall serves as a key procurement lead within Federal Prison Industries / Unicor, supporting the agency’s mission to provide vocational training and meaningful employment to incarcerated individuals through the production of goods and services for federal agencies. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on industrial manufacturing, construction, and equipment supply, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing Unicor’s goals of rehabilitation and cost efficiency. Her work spans the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance oversight—focusing on high-volume, mission-critical items produced by inmate labor programs. Cutshall maintains consistent relationships with a select group of established contractors, including Veterans Range Solutions, LLC, Krueger International, Inc., and Blind Industries and Services of Maryland, among others. These partnerships reflect a strategic alignment with organizations capable of delivering specialized industrial equipment, environmental services, and facility construction solutions. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term vendor collaboration, often leveraging existing supply chain efficiencies and certified nonprofit agencies that align with Unicor’s rehabilitative objectives. A strong advocate for small business participation, Cutshall directs nearly 59% of her acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting. While no specific set-aside categories are dominant, her portfolio consistently prioritizes small business eligibility, fostering opportunities for firms that support workforce development and community reinvestment. Her technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 333922 and 333924, corresponding to conveyor systems and industrial material handling equipment, with additional emphasis on industrial machinery wholesale (423830) and prefabricated metal building components (332311). She specializes in procuring durable, high-use industrial assets and infrastructure solutions that support federal facility operations, demonstrating deep domain expertise in manufacturing supply chains and institutional building systems.
