About this award

This federal contract award was issued by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), a civilian agency under the U.S. Department of the Treasury, to Crane & Co., Inc. The $195,840.00 firm fixed-price delivery order is for Year 6 production of 12 mm Micro-Optic Stripe (MOS) test samples, with 50 subjects, to support the BEP's ongoing currency research and development initiatives. The contract has no set-aside designation, reflecting Crane & Co.'s position as the sole technical source for this highly specialized currency production material.

This award is part of two significant Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts that Crane & Co. holds with the BEP. The primary $1.683 billion IDIQ covers the provision of distinctive currency paper, non-distinctive banknote paper, and other security materials essential for Federal Reserve note production. A secondary $270 million IDIQ focuses specifically on optical variable window security threads. These contracts enable the BEP to issue task orders as needed to support its currency manufacturing, counterfeit deterrence research, and Next Generation currency redesign programs.
