Federal procurement and contract lifecycle software for government agencies
Unison serves the federal government and defense contractor market with software built on a Microsoft stack (C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server) now transitioning toward cloud-native patterns—AWS Lambda, GraphQL APIs, and infrastructure-as-code indicate a shift from monolithic .NET applications toward microservices. Engineering-heavy hiring (4 of 8 open roles) paired with active projects around serverless platform design and API modernization suggests internal pressure to decouple legacy systems while maintaining compliance-critical workloads.
Unison builds software for federal procurement, contract lifecycle management, and government acquisitions. The platform is used by over 200,000 federal employees and government contractors to streamline complex regulatory workflows, reduce compliance risk, and surface business intelligence in a highly regulated market. The company operates across three main product areas: contract management (PRISM ecosystem), financial assistance tracking, and procurement workflows. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia, Unison combines domain expertise in federal regulations with software engineering to handle the data, workflow, and audit complexities unique to government contracting.
Unison's core platform runs on C#, ASP.NET, .NET Core, and SQL Server, with React on the frontend. Testing and QA use Selenium, UFT, and Cucumber. The company is adopting AWS Lambda and GraphQL to modernize toward cloud-native architecture.
Active projects include PRISM product ecosystem expansion, AWS serverless platform design, GraphQL API architecture, infrastructure-as-code deployment with AWS CDK, new logo acquisition for its CLM SaaS solution, and marketing campaigns targeting lead generation with MQL targets.
