Peyton Perry

Peyton Perry serves as the primary procurement lead for Federal Prison Industries (Unicor), a U.S. Department of Justice entity dedicated to providing vocational training and meaningful employment to incarcerated individuals through industrial production. In this role, Perry oversees the acquisition of goods and services essential to Unicor’s manufacturing operations, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of rehabilitation through industry. Their responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contracts for industrial products, from solicitation and evaluation to award and performance monitoring, with a focus on high-volume, low-cost items produced by inmate labor for federal agency use. Perry maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Veterans Range Solutions, LLC, Krueger International, Inc., and Blind Industries and Services of Maryland. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with experience in industrial manufacturing, environmental services, and disability-inclusive workforce models. The contracting pattern emphasizes long-term, repeat engagements with firms capable of scaling production and aligning with Unicor’s operational standards and ethical labor frameworks. A strong commitment to small business participation is evident in Perry’s procurement patterns, with over 60% of acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. HUBZone set-asides account for an additional 3.3%, demonstrating targeted support for economically distressed communities. While no set-aside remains a significant category, the consistent use of socioeconomic preferences underscores a strategic alignment with federal goals to expand opportunity for underserved entrepreneurs. Perry’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing), 325520 (Adhesive Manufacturing), and 335139 (Lighting Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting Unicor’s core production capabilities in industrial components, chemical products, and facility supplies. Additional activity in 562212 (Solid Waste Landfill) and 532120 (Truck and RV Leasing) supports operational infrastructure needs. This technical domain expertise ensures procurement decisions align with Unicor’s manufacturing ecosystem and mission-driven output.
