Supplying UNICOR

UNICOR purchases raw materials, supplies, services and construction in support of its factories located in Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities nationwide. These factories produce goods and services for sale primarily for Federal government agencies.

Electronic Vendor Payments

Legislation requires Federal agencies to pay recipients by electronic funds transfer. Purchase orders or contracts cannot be awarded to your company unless we can pay through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network banking system. Using this system, your company will have its payments directly deposited into its checking or savings account on the payment due date instead of receiving checks.

The benefits of electronic payments:

  • Immediate cash-flow benefit
  • Prompt availability of funds on the payment due date for your company
  • No waiting for checks to arrive, or deposit delays
  • Chance for lost, stolen, or misplaced checks is eliminated

To assist your company in identifying its federal payments, we will include addendum information with each payment sent to your bank. We will use your banking information from SAM.gov to transmit your electronic ACH payments and addenda records to your financial institution.
