About this award
The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing awarded a $42,560 firm fixed-price delivery order to Crane & Co., Inc.'s Crane Currency division on February 26, 2026, for the supply of non-distinctive banknote test paper. This delivery order, with an ultimate completion date of March 20, 2026, represents a child contract issued against one of Crane Currency's larger indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles with the Bureau. The award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting Crane Currency's status as the sole-source provider of specialized currency production materials to the federal government. Performance will occur in Dalton, Massachusetts, where Crane & Co. maintains its primary manufacturing facility for currency substrates and security materials.
Crane Currency serves as the exclusive supplier of critical materials essential to U.S. currency production and counterfeit deterrence initiatives. The company's portfolio includes distinctive and non-distinctive banknote papers, security threads with advanced anti-counterfeiting technology, and specialized test materials that support the Bureau's operational needs and next-generation currency design research. The broader IDIQ contract from which this delivery order derives is valued at $1.683 billion and extends through April 2026, enabling the Bureau to procure materials on an as-needed basis to support production at its Eastern and Western Currency Facilities. No subcontractors are involved in the delivery of these specialized materials, with Crane & Co., Inc. serving as the prime contractor.
