About this IDV
The Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) awarded a $200,000 single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Luminescence Sun Chemical Security LLC, a foreign-owned for-profit company, to provide alternate source test inks, intaglio inks, letterpress inks, and color-shifting inks. The IDC, awarded on September 14, 2022 with an ultimate completion date of September 13, 2025, enables the BEP to procure specialized inks on an as-needed basis to support the agency's mission of manufacturing secure documents, such as Federal Reserve notes and Treasury bonds, and developing advanced anti-counterfeiting technologies. Under this IDC, the BEP has issued multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to Luminescence Sun Chemical Security LLC ranging from $414 to $33,120 for the supply of test intaglio inks, color-shifting inks, and intaglio/letterpress inks. All contract performance is centered in Luminescence's facility located in Parsippany, New Jersey. The contracts do not include small business set-aside designations.
The specialized inks provided under this IDC are critical to the BEP's efforts to protect against counterfeiting of U.S. currency and financial instruments. By contracting with a supplier with expertise in security printing technologies, the BEP can continuously innovate and test new anti-counterfeiting features to maintain the integrity of these secure government documents. The IDC provides the agency with a flexible procurement mechanism to acquire the necessary ink solutions as it develops and refines its security printing processes.
