About this award
The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing awarded a $5.1 million delivery order to Crane & Co., Inc.'s Crane Currency division on November 18, 2025, for a January 2026 currency paper order covering $1 and $20 denomination Federal Reserve notes. Issued on a firm fixed-price basis with no set-aside designation, this delivery order is due for completion by January 30, 2026, and will be performed at Crane Currency's manufacturing facility in Dalton, Massachusetts. As the sole supplier of specialized currency paper and security materials to the federal government, Crane Currency fulfills a critical role in U.S. currency production by providing the distinctive substrate materials and security features essential for Federal Reserve note manufacturing.
This delivery order is executed under one of two significant indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts that Crane Currency holds with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The primary IDIQ contract, valued at $1.683 billion and awarded in February 2021, covers distinctive currency paper, non-distinctive banknote paper, and specialized security materials through 2024 and beyond. Crane Currency's technical expertise and exclusive capabilities as a sole-source provider position the company as a critical long-term partner supporting the BEP's ongoing currency manufacturing operations, counterfeit deterrence research, and next-generation currency design initiatives.
