About this opportunity
The Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Marketing and Regulatory Programs Business Services awarded a firm-fixed-price delivery order to West Publishing Corporation for commercial subscriptions and API access to the Thomson Reuters CLEAR System-to-System service on August 26, 2026.
The order was issued on a sole-source basis under GSAM 538.71043. The contract covers CLEAR Investigations Advanced licenses delivering real-time investigative data on individuals and businesses—including incarceration and arrest records, property records, phone and cellular information, vehicle registration, credit and identity-verification data, business affiliations, and court and public records—into APHIS's analytical platform to support investigative, compliance, and enforcement operations. The performance period runs one base year (September 1, 2026 to August 31, 2027) with four one-year option periods extending through August 31, 2031. West Publishing Corporation was selected as the sole capable source because CLEAR's proprietary data and API architecture are unique in the marketplace; market research confirmed no other GSA Schedule contractor met the specific technical requirements. The justification for restricting competition is publicly posted in accordance with FAR Part 8 requirements.
