UNICOR Dorm and Quarters Furniture
Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI), and the Quarters Furniture Manufacturers Association issued a memorandum to inform dormitory and quarters furniture buyers about the expiration of a 1999 pilot program under which Federal Prison Industries waived their mandatory source for dorm and quarters furniture.
The announcement explains that changes in the law made the program moot and the pilot program was allowed to expire on September 20, 2005. FPI continues the waiver of mandatory source in the case of dorm and quarters products and refers buyers to FAR 8.6.
