(b)(90) Notwithstanding FAR 19.501(a) and 19.502-1(b), Federal Prison Industries (FPI) may also compete for, and could receive award of, set-aside acquisitions of items listed on the FPI Schedule. Accordingly, insert the provision at 52.219-9001, Set-Asides of Acquisitions of Items Listed in the Schedule of Products Made in Federal Penal and Correctional Institutions, in acquisitions of such items whenever a comparability determination leads to a competitive acquisition (see FAR and DLAD 8.602) and an individual FAR set-aside clause is used. Whenever any of the combined/cascading set-aside clauses (i.e., DLAD 52.219-9008 through 52.219-9016) is used in accordance with 19.590, allow FPI to participate; see 19.508(90), below.
