Subject: Sole Source – Amerimac – BOP Clocks

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has issued a purchase order to UNICOR for Retirement Mantel Clocks.

In reviewing previous purchases for these retirement items for the BOP, it was found that they have been previously purchased from UNICOR specifically using the materials manufactured by Amerimac. The BOP requires this same exact clock to match their existing inventory. This is the only vendor that provides this exact clock, as required by the BOP. Similar clocks have been examined in the past, and found to be unacceptable by the end user.

Purchase is considered fair and reasonable based on similar items found during market research.
