[QUOTE="HighwaySentinel, post: 1873132, member: 45992"] Prison Industries provide many things made or assembled by prisoners. In California, there is a whole catalog of crap that state agencies are required to purchase from first before going out to general vendors. Could just be a notation on the window sticker stating some parts came from the federal prison system. [I]Edit: Found this on the interwebz......Furthermore, The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) uses [URL='https://investigate.afsc.org/tags/prison-labor']prison labor[/URL] to modify Ford vehicles for agency-specific use. Federal Prison Industries, Inc, the federal prison labor program known as [URL='https://investigate.afsc.org/prison-labor-united-states']UNICOR[/URL], orders Ford vehicles that are then altered to fit the government's requirements by people who are incarcerated in federal prisons. For example, in 2017, DHS awarded UNICOR a $3.4 million [URL='https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_HSTS0217PNCP039_7013_-NONE-_-NONE-']contract[/URL] to “procure and retrofit” 90 Ford F-150 pickup trucks for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) K-9 transport vehicles.[/I] This truck was purchased and modified for a specific government agency. Anyone's guess why they would start with a raptor and then take away suspension and upfitters. Might as well just start with a regular F-150. [/QUOTE]
