About this opportunity
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, is issuing a Request for Information to identify innovative device-assisted counterfeit deterrent technologies for future U.S. currency security features. The procurement seeks novel materials and security features that are extremely difficult to counterfeit yet can be easily authenticated by the general public using common devices such as optical filters, magnifiers, laser pointers, LED flashlights, magnets, or cell phones. Interested parties must submit preliminary samples and brief technical descriptions to the Office of Technology & Development by 2:00 PM Eastern Time on November 15, 2026. The submitted technologies will be evaluated based on effectiveness, compatibility with design and production factors, durability, and environmental acceptability. Key contacts include Kevin Ibershoff (Contract Specialist), Falcon Albino (Contracting Officer), and Chris Dollberg, Ph.D. (Division Manager). This RFI is classified as research and development in the physical and engineering sciences and is for informational purposes only, with no commitment to future procurement.
This pre-solicitation notice does not employ any set-aside designations and identifies no incumbent contractors or current awardees. The RFI does not specify an award value or budget range, as this is an exploratory information-gathering phase rather than a formal solicitation. No specific quantity of goods or timeline for service delivery is outlined in the notice. The one-year window between the posting date of November 14, 2025, and the response deadline of November 15, 2026, allows potential respondents substantial time to develop and prepare their technology submissions. As an RFI rather than a binding solicitation, this notice serves primarily to gauge market capabilities and innovation in currency security technology without guaranteeing any subsequent procurement action.
