Manufacturing

(i) This is a combined synopsis solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 13.5, Subpart 12.6, and Subpart 13.303-2 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.

(ii) This solicitation is a “Request for Quotation (RFQ)”. The solicitation number is 2031ZA26Q00036.

(iii) The solicitation document incorporates the provisions and clauses in effect through

Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2025-06 /effective date of 01 October 2025.

(iv) The associated North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 325998 - All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation

Manufacturing and the size standard is 650 Employees.

(v) Pricing for required oils and greases shall be provided via Attachment 2 – Price List. The

Quoter agrees to hold the prices in its proposal firm for 90 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of quotation unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the RFQ.

This is a small business set-aside solicitation to award a single Blanket Purchase Agreement

(BPA). It is anticipated that the BEP will issue a BPA from the effective date of the agreement for a total of 60 months. The delivery schedule will consist of five (5) years or when the BPA ceiling is reached, whichever occurs first.

(vi) Description of requirements for the items to be acquired:

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), at both the Eastern Currency Facility (ECF) and the

Western Currency Facility (WCF) have a requirement to replace consumable spare parts such as

Oils, and Greases using a BPA. The Oils and Greases are used to clean and lubricate numbering blocks used in COPE, LEPE, & NS-LEPE. After a set number of prints operations stopped and the numbering blocks are properly maintained for quality currency prints.

Bureau of Engraving and Printing 2031ZA26Q00036 P a g e | 2 of 43

This is a new procurement as an IDV. Previously consumables such as Oils and Greases were purchased repetitively as separate requirements. Often leading to increased stocked out time and lessened product quality/repeatability goals. Purchasing these consumable spare parts using the

IDIQ/BPA method will support currency manufacturing goals for the next 5 years. Replacing the new consumable spare parts using this system will decrease procurement processing time significantly putting the BEP in a better position to meet production goals.

(vii) Date/Place of delivery and acceptance of FOB Point:

BPA calls placed against this BPA shall be delivered F.O.B. Destination to the location specified in the BPA call. The contractor shall provide the necessary deliverables at the

(g) Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters (Executive Order 12689). (Applies only if the contract value is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.) The offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the offeror and/or any of its principals–

(1) □ Are, □ are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

(2) □ Have, □ have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local government contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property;

Government entity with, commission of any of these offenses enumerated in paragraph (h)(2) of this clause; and

(4) □ Have, □ have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds the threshold at 9.104-5(a)(2) for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed.

A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek

Bureau of Engraving and Printing 2031ZA26Q00036 P a g e | 15 of 43 tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

13126). [The Contracting Officer must list in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired under this solicitation that are included in the List of Products Requiring Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor, unless excluded at 22.1503(b).]

(2) □ Outside the United States.

(j) Certificates regarding exemptions from the application of the Service Contract Labor Standards

(Certification by the offeror as to its compliance with respect to the contract also constitutes its certification as to compliance by its subcontractor if it subcontracts out the exempt services.) [The contracting officer is to check a box to indicate if paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) applies.]

☐ (1) Maintenance, calibration, or repair of certain equipment as described in FAR 22.1003-
