All currency must comply with federal anti-counterfeiting law (18 U.S.C. § 474) and include mandatory modifications: altered portraits and vignettes, explicit visual disclaimers such as "FOR MOTION PICTURE PURPOSES," "COPY," or "IN PROPS WE TRUST," the complete absence of genuine security features, and modified border designs. Currency must be printed on both sides on standard commercial paper stock weighing 80–100 GSM. Offerors must submit firm-fixed-price quotations encompassing all printing, modifications, and shipping costs, along with digital product data sheets or visual proofs demonstrating compliance; quotations without such proof will be rejected as technically unacceptable. The NAICS code is 323111 (Commercial Printing), and the PSC is 7690 (Miscellaneous Printed Matter).
