SF 1009_Redacted.pdf

This is a Department of the Treasury Sole Source Justification form (SF 1009) for acquisitions below the simplified acquisition threshold. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Office of Currency Manufacturing, is the requiring activity, with the Treasury Common Service Center serving as the contracting activity. The procurement is for specialized Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions (KBBS) make-ready sensors to retrofit four Super Simultan Offset printing presses located in Washington DC and Fort Worth, Texas. The retrofit work includes fabrication, delivery, installation, setup, training, and commissioning of the sensors, which are essential proprietary components for the Super Simultan Offset Printing Platform used in secure, high-volume Federal Reserve note production. The need date is December 2026, with a 12-month performance period from the date of award.

The vendor identified for award is Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions SA, classified as Other Than Small Business. The justification for sole sourcing is based on brand-name requirements, as Koenig & Bauer is identified as the only responsible source capable of satisfying agency requirements. The form notes that the Super Simultan Offset Printing Platform and its make-ready sensors are proprietary to Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions, including their associated software and algorithms. The form emphasizes that any attempt to use non-OEM sensors would void equipment warranties and potentially cause damage requiring additional repair costs or complete equipment replacement. The IGCE/estimated dollar value section is redacted on the document.
