About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing is seeking information on covert security features and counterfeit deterrent technologies that can be incorporated into future U.S. banknotes. This Request for Information (RFI) is a pre-solicitation notice intended for market research purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award a contract. Respondents must submit detailed technical information demonstrating laboratory feasibility of their proposed technologies, which must be extremely difficult to counterfeit yet easy to authenticate without requiring external verification devices. Proposed solutions will be evaluated based on effectiveness, compatibility with design and production processes, durability, environmental acceptability, and overall feasibility. All responses must be submitted via email to Frederick Porter and Susan Dela Cruz by 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on November 26, 2025, and respondents are required to execute a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement to protect confidential information related to currency security.
This pre-solicitation notice does not utilize any set-aside designations and identifies no incumbent contractors or current award holders. No specific budget range or contract award value has been disclosed in the RFI materials. Respondents should provide company contact information, technical capabilities, production materials specifications, budgetary cost estimates, delivery timelines, and customer references with their submissions. The BEP reserves the right to request additional information or material samples from interested parties and may utilize the collected market research data to inform a future formal solicitation. The NDA governing this RFI is valid for five years from the effective date, with provisions allowing either party to terminate with 30 days' written notice, ensuring that sensitive information regarding U.S. currency security measures remains protected throughout the process.
