4. Technical Description & Mandatory Legal Specifications The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), intends to award a competitive commercial contract for printed prop currency that visually represents U.S. Dollars and Indian Rupees for training purposes.

• To comply with federal anti-counterfeiting laws (including 18 U.S.C. § 474), all prop currency offered at actual currency dimensions and printed on both sides must be highly modified, fictionalized U.S. prop currency in accordance with the mandatory legal anti-counterfeiting specifications. All prop currency must be printed on both sides using standard commercial paper stock weighing between 80 GSM and 100 GSM.

Note to Offerors: You must submit a digital product data sheet or visual proof with your quote demonstrating these mandatory modifications.

Offerors are NOT required to submit proofs for all 12 denominations; a minimum of one (1) representative U.S.
