RFI Lounge Seating

Background
Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI), operating under the trade name UNICOR, was established by statute and Executive Order 6917 in 1934 with a mission to rebuild the lives of individuals who have taken wrong turns in life. FPI’s program provides federal inmates with valuable job and life skills, which, upon release from prison, will enhance their prospects for employment and success within their communities, and it does so without spending American tax dollars.

FPI is unique in that it is a manufacturing organization operating within the U.S. Federal Government. Currently, FPI is comprised of seven business sectors: Agribusiness, Electronics, Clothing and Textiles, Fleet Services, Recycling, Office Furniture, and Services. Throughout its 85-year history, these business groups have changed based on market opportunity and demand patterns. Combined, these business groups provide hundreds of products and services to multiple departments and agencies of the Federal Government such as the Department of Justice, Department of Defense, and Defense Logistics Agency.
