About this opportunity
The Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing has published a Special Notice for a sole source award to procure brass plates for the CTiP III laser engraving system. The CTiP III is a critical component for the United States Currency Program, as it enables direct engraving of digital files onto brass plates, which can then be used as master plates or printing plates after chrome plating.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to establish an inventory of brass plates to support further research and development, as well as potential deployment of the CTiP III system into the standard intaglio platemaking workflow. The notice does not identify any set-aside requirements, and the deadline for responses is June 18, 2024. The plates procured through this sole source award will replace the current polymer plate engraving process used by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in the United States Currency Program.
