About this award

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing awarded a delivery order valued at $425.6K to Crane & Co., Inc.'s Crane Currency division on December 4, 2025, for the provision of distinctive currency test paper featuring a 12-millimeter test module on 50-subject sheets. This firm fixed-price delivery order, part of Ordering Period 6 under a larger indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle, will be performed at Crane Currency's facility in Dalton, Massachusetts, and is scheduled for completion by March 20, 2026. The award was not designated as a set-aside contract, reflecting Crane Currency's unique technical capabilities and sole-source status as the exclusive supplier of specialized currency paper and security materials to the federal government.

Crane Currency holds a critical role in U.S. currency production through two significant IDIQ contracts with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing—a $1.683 billion primary contract covering distinctive and non-distinctive currency paper and security materials, and a $270 million secondary contract focused on optical variable window security threads. This delivery order supports the BEP's ongoing research and development initiatives related to counterfeit deterrence and next-generation currency design by providing test samples essential for evaluating advanced currency paper specifications. Crane Currency's continued status as the technical source for these specialized materials underscores the company's importance to maintaining the security and technological advancement of Federal Reserve note production.
