The Federal Prison System, Bureau of Prisons, acting through FCI Manchester, has issued an award notice under solicitation number CT2174-14 for the procurement of screen print ink. This requirement was satisfied using Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, as a specific gold ink formula was required for Army Physical Fitness Uniforms (APFU). During the first article testing phase, it was determined that standard Pantone 123C ink migrated and developed a green hue after laundering, leading UNICOR to seek a specialized solution accepted by the Defense Logistics Agency.
