The Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Virginia Water Systems, Inc. to provide various water purification equipment, services, and supplies in support of the Bureau's currency production and security document printing operations. Over a dozen firm fixed price call contracts were placed against the BPA between January 2022 and December 2026 for a total value of approximately $245,000. Calls were awarded on both a full and partial small business set aside basis for equipment, deionized water, and services supporting the Bureau's facilities in Washington D.C., Midlothian, Virginia. Items procured through the BPA include deionization tanks, flow meters, and related accessories for water treatment systems integral to the Bureau's engraving and printing processes. By establishing this BPA, the Bureau was able to streamline the acquisition of recurring water purification needs from a qualified vendor while meeting small business participation goals over the life of the contract awards.
The blanket purchase agreement and associated call contracts effectively provide the Bureau of Engraving and Printing with water purification equipment, supplies, and services critical to its mission of manufacturing currency and security documents. The single award was made to an experienced vendor through a competitive process. Placement of fixed price calls against the BPA facilitates delivery of essential water treatment assets and support on an as-needed basis across the Bureau's production facilities.
