About this opportunity

The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons Federal Prison Industries (UNICOR) published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the renewal of Clarify EDI automation software license, maintenance, and support services. The sole source justification is based on Cleo Communications US, LLC holding exclusive licensing rights for the Clarify software, which streamlines order exchanges between GSA and FPI by automatically handling data sending, receiving, translating, and integration tasks. UNICOR determined that switching to another EDI automation solution would not be cost-effective due to the extensive retraining required for system administrators and the prohibitive costs associated with implementing a new system. The contract was awarded to an unknown vendor on July 9, 2025, for the amount of $41,580.00, covering the service period from September 24, 2025 to September 23, 2026. The justification emphasizes the urgency of the renewal and Cleo's position as the only vendor capable of meeting UNICOR's Management Information Systems Branch requirements for this specialized EDI automation software.
