Baler Hydraulic Cylinder

The Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing seeks procurement and delivery of one hydraulic cylinder (model 4518, 8-bore x 44.56-inch stroke) for a DCF Baler Model 203, with quotes due July 17, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST. This is a Total Small Business set-aside, firm fixed-price RFQ.

Place of performance is Washington, DC (14th & C Streets, S.W., 20228). Delivery must occur within 90 calendar days of purchase order issuance to the BEP Annex Loading Dock. The cylinder replacement is marked urgent and compelling; the baler is currently the only trash compactor in operation at the facility and serves as the primary driver for the heavy ram that compresses currency trimming materials.

Offerors must submit three separate volumes: Technical Acceptability (maximum 10 pages, demonstrating product meets all specifications with supporting documentation and warranty information), Delivery lead time in calendar days (maximum 1 page), and firm fixed price inclusive of transportation (maximum 1 page). Technical Acceptability and Delivery are rated "Acceptable," "Good," or "Excellent"; Price is evaluated for fair and reasonableness. Quotations failing to meet minimum technical requirements receive no further evaluation. Award goes to the responsible offeror providing best value.

A mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 15, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST at 301 14th Street SW, Washington, DC. Attendees must provide vehicle details and attendee names in advance to patrick.brown@bep.gov and present valid government-issued identification (REAL ID driver's license, U.S. passport, or government ID card).

All offerors must be registered in SAM and hold prices firm for 90 days from quote receipt. Questions were due July 10 at 12:00 PM EST. The NAICS code is 333248, All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing; PSC is 3695, Miscellaneous Special Industry Machinery. Upon delivery, the contractor shall perform visual inspection in the presence of the Contracting Officer Representative and Subject Matter Expert. A nondisclosure agreement protecting nonpublic information regarding currency design and BEP operations is required prior to receiving solicitation details.
