Lance M. Wiley

Lance Wiley serves as a key procurement professional within Federal Prison Industries / Unicor, supporting the agency’s mission to provide vocational training and meaningful employment to incarcerated individuals through the manufacture of essential goods for federal agencies. He manages a diverse portfolio of industrial and electronic component acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while advancing Unicor’s operational efficiency and self-sufficiency goals. His work primarily involves complex manufacturing contracts requiring precise technical specifications, quality control protocols, and adherence to federal labor standards for inmate-produced goods. Wiley maintains consistent relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including VETERANS RANGE SOLUTIONS, LLC, KRUEGER INTERNATIONAL, INC., and BLIND INDUSTRIES AND SERVICES OF MARYLAND, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in high-precision manufacturing, electronics assembly, and specialized industrial components. His contracting patterns demonstrate a focus on long-term, performance-based agreements with suppliers capable of meeting stringent federal quality and production volume requirements, often under tight regulatory oversight. His procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with approximately 91% of awards issued without socioeconomic preferences, indicating a primary emphasis on technical capability and production capacity over socioeconomic targeting. The remaining 9% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides, suggesting a measured but deliberate inclusion of qualified small businesses when their capabilities align with operational needs. Wiley’s technical focus centers on electronic component manufacturing, with over 84% of his acquisitions falling under NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) and 334417 (Electronic Connector Manufacturing). He routinely procures circuit assemblies, connectors, switchgear components, and related industrial electronics critical to federal infrastructure and equipment. His domain expertise lies in high-reliability electronics manufacturing, with deep familiarity in MIL-SPEC standards, component traceability, and production scalability within controlled environments.
