This delivery order, with an ultimate completion date of April 29, 2029, operates under a firm fixed-price structure and represents a child contract issued against one of Crane Currency's existing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles—specifically the secondary IDIQ contract valued at $270M that covers optical variable window distinctive security threads through 2029. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation, reflecting Crane Currency's sole-source status as the exclusive supplier of these specialized security materials to the federal government. Work will be performed in Boston, Massachusetts.
Crane & Co., Inc., operating through its Crane Currency division and headquartered in Dalton, Massachusetts, serves as the critical infrastructure partner for U.S. currency production, supplying specialized security threads and advanced anti-counterfeiting materials essential for Federal Reserve note manufacturing. The optically variable thread products covered under this delivery order support the Bureau's broader mission to maintain currency security and integrity while advancing next-generation currency design initiatives. As the prime contractor on this award, Crane Currency will deliver these materials directly with no subcontractors involved, consistent with its established role as the sole provider of these technically specialized currency production materials to the Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
