Matthew Joyce

Matthew Joyce supports the procurement operations of Federal Prison Industries (Unicor), a U.S. Department of Justice entity dedicated to providing vocational training and employment opportunities to incarcerated individuals through the manufacture of goods and services for federal agencies. In his capacity, he manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions aligned with Unicor’s mission of rehabilitation through industry, overseeing contracts for administrative services, environmental support, and specialized manufacturing. His work ensures that federal agencies receive cost-effective, high-quality products while advancing the agency’s goal of inmate workforce readiness and operational self-sufficiency. Joyce maintains consistent relationships with a select group of 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 mission-aligned values—particularly those serving veteran, disabled, or socially disadvantaged populations. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, often leveraging established capabilities in facility maintenance, environmental remediation, and industrial production to support Unicor’s operational needs. His procurement patterns show a strong inclination toward non-set-aside contracts at 66.7%, with a significant 33.3% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While he does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a clear commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small firms that align with Unicor’s rehabilitative objectives. Joyce’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting) and 541910 (Marketing Research), alongside manufacturing categories including 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing) and 332312/332322 (Fabricated Structural Metal and Sheet Metal Work). His expertise centers on procuring industrial goods and support services that enable Unicor’s production facilities to operate efficiently, with an emphasis on durable, federally compliant manufacturing outputs and operational consulting services that enhance institutional productivity.
