STATEMENT OF NEED FOR CURRENCY READER DEVICES - 5 September 2013

1.0 BACKGROUND

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) is a Bureau in the Department of the Treasury. BEP's mission is to develop and produce United States paper currency – referred to as Federal Reserve notes – that are trusted worldwide. As its primary function, BEP prints billions of dollars each year for delivery to the Federal Reserve System.

BEP intends to implement three initiatives in support of a means for individuals who are blind or visually impaired to independently denominate U.S. currency:

1) Develop and deploy a raised tactile feature unique to each denomination that BEP may lawfully change that will provide users with a means of identifying each denomination by way of touch,

2) Continue the practice of adding large, high-contrast numerals to each denomination, and

3) Procure and distribute currency readers to all blind and visually impaired U.S. citizens and legal residents who wish to avail themselves of this program.

The BEP intends to purchase and distribute currency readers to the blind and visually impaired population while developing other recommended solutions for incorporation directly into redesigned Federal Reserve notes. The currency readers will also be needed to denominate "legacy" notes – those notes currently in circulation without enhanced features. Both new and old notes are expected to co-circulate for many years.

Based on available data, there are more than 4 million persons in the United States who may benefit from a currency reader device. However, BEP cannot be sure of the number of application requests for such a reader under the Currency Reader

Program; nor can BEP estimate the number of currency readers to procure on an annual basis.

1.1 Objectives

In support of its national Currency Reader Program, the Contractor will be required to ship currency readers to a warehouse and fulfillment center (location to be determined at time of award), where BEP will then distribute the readers to eligible blind and visually impaired individuals who request a reader. For the purposes of this contract, Contractors shall base shipping costs on a facility located in the National Capital Region (NCR). It is believed, but not guaranteed in this SON, that BEP's initial purchase will be for thirty thousand (30,000) currency readers, with additional orders to be placed based on the number of eligible requests for currency readers made by the public. Peak production is expected to be 30,000 readers per month, but that production may increase to as much as 50,000 readers per month. A Requirements contract will allow orders to be placed in lots of one thousand (1,000) readers.

1.2 Definitions

Note= Individual Federal Reserve Notes ($1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100).

2.0 SCOPE

The scope of this contract is to purchase commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) currency readers that are portable handheld devices, which are easy for the blind and visually impaired to use.

This shall include the latest $100 note introduced to the public in 2010 and scheduled for issue in 2013. If this contract is awarded prior to the new $100 note entering circulation, BEP will provide samples of the note for contractor use.

3.1.8 Currency reader shall successfully denominate at least 98% of notes.
