So your post makes no sense. OpenSSL provides the FIPS portion directly. You can just download and compile it according to the instructions and you are now FIPS compliant just awaiting a certification. You can do this yourself, you don't need RedHat or Debian to do it for you.
This is one of the problems with Government and hopefully something that will change. All that is done is piece together bits of what outside vendors have put together and the piecing together is normally done by contractors.
