PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Revised 21 August 2015

1.0 Background

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) is responsible for the design, engraving, and printing of all United States paper currency.

The BEP operates two printing facilities, the main facility in Washington, D.C. (DCF), and a second facility located in Fort Worth, Texas (WCF). The major industrial operations at the facilities includes 1) the printing and processing of U.S. currency, and other securities, 2) printing ink production, 3) engraving and electrolytic plate production, 4) photo processing, and 5) other ancillary support services; laboratory facilities, maintenance, product development, procurement, information technology, administrative functions, etc. Major printing equipment components operated by BEP include both sheet fed and web presses, which utilize intaglio, offset, letter press, and gravure printing processes.

The BEP is committed to maintaining certification of its Environmental Management System (EMS) and Quality Management System

(QMS).

Both facilities maintain separate registrations to ISO14001:2004 through TUV:SUD America and UL-DQS. The DCF most recently completed a surveillance audit in April 2015 and is due for a full ISO14001 re-assessment in 2016; WCF completed a full EMS reassessment in September of 2012 and is due for a surveillance audit in September 2015. Both DCF and WCF will require their existing TUV:SUD and UL-DQS ANAB registrations to be honored.

The BEP maintains registration to ISO9001:2008 through UL-DQS. A single registration covers both DCF and WCF. The BEP last underwent full recertification assessment in April 2012. The most recent registration reassessment took place in May/June 2015. The BEP will require the existing UL-DQS registration to be honored.

The objective of this procurement is to secure the services of an accredited registrar to maintain registration of the Bureau's Environmental Management System(s) under the ISO14001standard and QMS under the ISO 9001:2008 standard or current version of the ISO 9001 standard (potentially, it is anticipated that the standard(s) will be updated during the contract period).

2.0 Scope

The scope of the Bureau's EMS and QMS for all security printing and packaging activities at the DCF facility and the WCF facility which are under the control of the Director of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This includes, but is not limited to, the major processes and operations associated with the design and production of currency for the United States of America.

Both facilities have wastewater pre-treatment plants that are permitted by a local POTW. The pre-treatment plant treats waste streams from the presses and from the nickel and chromium plating operations. Both facilities are large quantity generators. DCF is beginning major construction on a new wastewater pre-treatment facility.

The BEP requires separate certificates for the EMS each facility (WCF and DCF) due to the differences in environmental regulations between the jurisdictions. The BEP requires a single certificate for the QMS covering BOTH facilities.
