Hi all,
I'm planning to perform an unaccompanied woodwind recital in about two months, and I would like some suggestions. I'm fairly sure of what I'm playing on sax and flute, but I'm not even aware of that much rep for the clarinet.
Any suggestions?

Meyer's, Ragas for Clarinet? or something like that.

It's hard to say without knowing what else you're playing. Recently, I've been warming up to Ernst Krenek's "Monologue". It isn't particularly demanding but I'm finding I like it more and more as I continue to play it.

There are hundreds of solo clarinet pieces for clarinet. Give us an idea of what technical level of playing you're at. Some are extremely difficult, some are moderately difficult etc. It would also help to know what style you're looking for if there is a particular style. ESP (Peabody/BSO)

Consider an improvised solo!
Although like other posted above not knowing what you want, level, etc. but I'll still add a piece that is worth considering, Echoes From The Past by Tzvi Avni.

Look into the book of Kovacs homages. There are a lot of really good pieces in there and he does a very good job of emulating a lot of different composer's styles. The de Falla homage is irrefutably the most popular and a good starting point for the Kovacs homages since you can find so many different recordings of it on Naxos, Youtube, etc.
You should also look at the Osbourne Rhapsody, the Tomasi 'Sonata Attique' and the Von Koch Monologue. They're all prepareable (is that a word? I don't think it is) in two months.

In the Kovacs: the Weber! It could, really, have been written by Carl Maria hisself! (but get the rhythm perfect)

Rosza - Sonata and/or Sonatina are both really good.

Sutermeister's Capriccio for A clarinet - 20thC harmony with more traditional phrasing.. very engaging piece with mood/tempo change every two or three bars!
