About this award

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) awarded a $168,000 firm fixed-price delivery order to Crane & Co., Inc.'s Crane Currency division for Micro Optic Stripe (MOS) testing. The contract, awarded on December 8, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 23, 2026, will be performed in Boston, Massachusetts. This delivery order was issued without a set-aside designation, reflecting Crane Currency's unique technical capabilities as the sole supplier of specialized currency production materials to the federal government.

Crane Currency, a subsidiary of Crane Co. headquartered in Dalton, Massachusetts, serves as the critical supplier of security materials and specialized test samples for U.S. currency production. This delivery order likely supports the BEP's counterfeit deterrence research and next-generation currency design initiatives through testing of advanced optical security features. The work is issued under one of Crane Currency's two indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts with the BEP, including a primary $1.683 billion contract for distinctive and non-distinctive currency paper and security materials awarded in February 2021.
