US Mint Coin Packaging 2007-2012

The Department of the Treasury United States Mint awarded this Master IDIQ on June 13, 2007, for North American manufacturers to produce coin packaging and packing products, with a last date to order of December 31, 2013 — now closed for over twelve years. The vehicle is inactive; ordering ceased in December 2013 with the final task order awarded November 30, 2012.

The vehicle was designed to supply packaging for coins in circulating quality, uncirculated, proof, and reverse proof finishes, spanning from basic coin boards to premium finished wooden boxes across two subcategories: Premium Packaging and Basic Packaging. Task orders reflect this scope, covering coin boards, presentation cases, specialty sets (Presidential $1 coins, First Spouse medals, American Buffalo coins, American the Beautiful Quarters), collector boxes, and custom packaging assemblies.

The vehicle awarded 111 task orders totaling $68.1 million in combined potential value, with $68 million obligated (100% of potential). Ordering activity peaked in 2012 with 23 awards, following consistent levels of 17–18 orders annually from 2008 through 2011. The most recent task order was awarded November 30, 2012.

Competition was concentrated among five prime contractors. The Unicover Corporation led by order count with 49 awards worth $16 million combined potential value. JEM Wood Design Incorporated dominated by value, holding 19 orders worth $30.6 million — roughly 45% of the vehicle's total potential. Pubco Produits Internationals Inc. (27 orders, $7.4 million), Mingfeng (USA) Packaging, Inc. (4 orders, $9.4 million), and Jewel Case Corporation (10 orders, $3.7 million) composed the remainder. These five firms held 98% of both task orders and combined potential value. The United States Mint was the sole customer, placing all 111 orders.

Set-asides were minimal: 107 orders (96%) carried no set-aside designation, while only 4 orders (4%) were awarded as Total Small Business. Task orders ranged widely in value, from $846 for a specialized font license (TMHQ07C0048-0031) to $16.049 million for 2009 St. Gaudens Ultra High Relief packaging (TMHQ07C0049-0007 awarded July 14, 2008). Most orders fell in the $100,000 to $1 million range, with several exceeding $3 million. All awards used firm fixed price contracts.

The United States Mint has awarded this Master IDIQ for North American Manufacturers that produce Packaging and Packing Products. Coins may be provided in a variety of finishes including circulating quality, uncirculated, proof and reverse proof. Therefore, packaging requirements range in complexity from basic coin boards to premium finished wooden boxes.
