About this award
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing awarded a delivery order valued at $8.3M to Crane & Co., Inc. (operating as Crane Currency) on January 16, 2026, for the supply of $1 and $20 currency paper required for March 2026 production. This delivery order, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2026, is issued under a firm fixed-price arrangement with no set-aside designation. The contract is performed at Crane Currency's manufacturing facility in Dalton, Massachusetts, where the company produces the specialized banknote substrates essential for Federal Reserve note production. As the sole supplier of distinctive currency paper and security materials to the federal government, Crane Currency serves a critical national security function in maintaining U.S. currency production standards and counterfeit deterrence capabilities.
This delivery order is a child contract issued against one of Crane & Co.'s two primary indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles with the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The parent IDIQ contract, valued at $1.683 billion through April 2026, authorizes the issuance of task orders for distinctive and non-distinctive currency papers, security threads, and specialized materials needed for ongoing currency manufacturing operations. Crane Currency operates as the prime contractor on all federal awards with no subcontractor involvement, reflecting its exclusive technical qualifications and sole-source status. The company's monthly currency paper orders support production at both the Bureau's Eastern and Western Currency Facilities, while also providing specialized testing materials and sample deliverables that advance the agency's next-generation currency design initiatives.
