        <text><![CDATA[ Amends the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act to require an executive agency, when procuring Federal Prison Industries (FPI) products or services, to: (1) use competitive procedures; or (2) make an individual purchase under a multiple award contract in accordance with applicable competition requirements. Requires an agency to: (1) timely notify FPI of procurements; (2) consider a timely offer from FPI in the same manner as other offers; and (3) consider a timely offer from FPI without limitation as to the dollar value, unless competition is limited to small business concerns. Outlines exceptions to the competitive procedures requirement. <p>Prohibits requiring a contractor to use FPI as a subcontractor or supplier. <p>Prohibits access to classified and sensitive information by an inmate worker. <p> <p> <p>Restricts the interstate and foreign commerce of services resulting from convict labor. Subjects knowing violators of such restrictions to fine or imprisonment, or both. <p>Requires Federal, State, and local prison work programs to meet specified requirements. <p>Allows FPI to sell or donate a product or service to tax-exempt charitable organizations which may then donate or sell any such product or service to low-income individuals. <p> <p>Establishes the Enhanced In-Prison Educational and Vocational Assessment and Training Program within the FPI. <p> <p>Directs FPI to increase inmate employment by producing products for the public sector that would otherwise be produced outside the United States. <p> Authorizes priority placement in the Bureau of Prisons for FPI employees displaced because FPI loses business following enactment.]]></text>
