United States Mint

The Department of the Treasury United States Mint is a civilian agency within the Treasury Department that procures precious metals, coins, blanks, and related materials and services to support the production and distribution of U.S. circulating coinage, bullion products, and numismatic offerings. The Mint operates as both a procurement and production entity, acquiring raw materials and specialized services from external vendors to maintain domestic coin manufacturing capacity.

The Mint has awarded 52,001 federal contracts since 1981, with combined potential value of $55.95 billion. Recent activity has declined: the agency issued 1,898 awards in 2022, 2,445 in 2023, 1,317 in 2024, 1,031 in 2025, and 734 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent award closed on 2026-10-19. Combined dollars obligated across the portfolio total $61.39 billion, exceeding the combined potential value by 10 percent—a pattern typical of high-volume transactional portfolios where modifications and task-order calls accumulate additional value against initial IDIQ or blanket purchase agreement ceilings.

Over the last five years, competitive concentration is fragmented by award count and by potential value. Stonex Financial LTD dominates by both measures, holding 1,545 awards ($6.57 billion combined potential value) and accounting for 37 percent of recent awards by count and 24 percent by combined value. Asahi Refining USA Inc. (417 awards, $1.4 billion), Coins 'N Things, Inc. (372 awards, $2 billion), and A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (267 awards, $1.8 billion) follow at significantly lower award velocity. The portfolio spans 4,271 distinct prime contractors across its all-time history, indicating a long competitive tail. The Mint overwhelmingly uses no set-aside designation, with 49,878 awards (96 percent) awarded unrestricted; small-business set-asides account for 1,958 awards (4 percent), and other small-business and socioeconomic set-asides together represent fewer than 100 awards.

The Mint has awarded only one federal grant in its recorded portfolio—a Cooperative Agreement for $10.7 million in federal share (total obligated value $15 million) issued on 2014-10-01. No grant activity is recorded after that date.

No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are present in the source data.

The Mint produces the the coins that circulate throughout the US. They also produce special edition coinage that can be purchased for coin collections.
