Public Notice: Boots and Shoes

FSC codes 8430 and 8435

This notice announces FPI’s intentions to produce boots and shoes for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, that would otherwise be produced outside of the United States, on a competitive basis and not use its mandatory source status. This product encompasses all boots and shoes classified in Federal Supply Classification (FSC) codes 8430 – Footwear, Men’s and 8435 – Footwear, Women’s.

Once a product is sold competitively, by FPI, it remains a competitive product and will not be added to FPI’s Schedule of Products as a mandatory source product. FPI will not attempt to exercise its mandatory source at some future point.

Interested parties have a right to comment or raise questions with FPI’s Board of Directors.
