QUANTITIES AND PRICING INFORMATION

Set forth below is the Government's program estimates for Types I, IV, and V distinctive currency paper.

A pricing matrix has been included to mitigate offeror's risk in pricing and to ensure that the Government receives maximum savings possible based on total quantity ordered from each supplier for each Program Year under each lot (see B-5). If the Government elects to make multiple awards, the total minimum amount for each Program Year will be pro-rated based on the award lots contained in each contract.

The table below illustrates the approximate percentage of the currency paper program for the periods covered herein and are provided for informational purposes only.

(50-subject sheet size)

The solicitation includes Line Items for test samples of each denomination of Distinctive Currency Paper for design approval of security features (See Section H-11, entitled, “Sample Lots for Denomination Design Changes”). It is not anticipated that the Government will order against each of these line items in each program year. These line items are included in each program year to allow for flexibility in testing, evaluating and implementing New Currency Designs.

B-2

AWARD SCENARIOS

The Government may elect to award a single contract or multiple contracts to one or two offerors, respectively, offering the greatest value to the Government in accordance with award scenarios set forth below. The lots have been structured to allow offerors to propose on all of the BEP's distinctive currency paper requirements or specific portions thereof. For those offerors who desire a mobilization period, Lots 5, 7, 9, and 11 provide for a twenty-four (24) month mobilization period for offerors to gear-up for production. If the Government elects to make a single award, award may be made for Award Scenario I consisting of Lot 1 only. If the Government elects to make an award to two separate offerors, only one of the award scenarios illustrated in B-2, Award Scenarios, may be awarded. If an offeror proposed on Scenario I, Lot I, in order for the proposal to be considered, the offeror must propose on all award scenarios.
