Goods and services contracts

Reminder for agencies: Correctional Industries contract is available

State law requires all agencies, the Legislature, and departments to buy goods made or provided by Correctional Industries (CI). CI offers Class II inmate work programs under RCW 39.26.251.

DES works with CI to identify which goods are covered under this mandatory-use contract (WAC 200-300-086). Non-agency purchasers may also use this contract if they have their own purchasing authority.

These goods are currently produced or provided through CI’s Class II programs:


* *Furniture:* Office systems, seating, tables, case goods, and files and storage.
* *Safety products:* Safety kits, emergency vehicle kits, Tyvek suits, safety vests, and bags.
* *Apparel:* Undergarments, duty gear, screen printing, and embroidery.
* *Mattresses and linens:* Mattresses, sheets, pillowcases, and towels.
* *Janitorial supplies:* All-purpose cleaner, floor care cleaners, and food service cleaning systems.
* *Optical products:* Eyeglasses, frames, lenses, contacts, reading glasses, and sample kits.

If state agencies, the Legislature, or departments want to make a purchase without using this contract, they must fill out an exemption form [ [link removed] ]. After completing the form, they need to send it to CI for approval before making their purchase.
