About this opportunity
The Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing published a Special Notice regarding its intent to award a sole source contract. The Notice concerns procuring Original Equipment Manufacturer spare parts for the Non-Sequential Large Examination Printing Equipment used by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for currency manufacturing.
The Special Notice provides details on the government's intent to sole source the procurement of 3,353 spare parts to Koenig & Bauer, the proprietary manufacturer of the parts and equipment. Interested contractors are invited to submit capability statements by September 20th if they believe they can provide all the listed parts. However, the Notice makes clear this is not a request for bids or proposals as the government has determined only Koenig & Bauer possesses the required capabilities. The attached parts list further specifies the individual line items, quantities, and locations needed for the sheet feeder, printing unit, inking carriage, and packaging equipment subsystems of the non-sequential printing operation.
Notice text
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR BIDS, QUOTES OR PROPOSALS. At this time no solicitation exists. This notification is being posted for information purposes only.
This procurement action is for the purchase of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Spare Parts for the Non-Sequential Large Examination Printing Equipment (NS-LEPE) used by BEP for currency manufacturing.
All parts listed in the attached Parts List are manufactured and are proprietary to Koenig & Bauer (K&B). There are no sources that are capable of supplying all these OEM spare parts other than K&B. BEP does not possess the required capabilities in terms of labor, machinery or materials to produce these items. Therefore, the Government has determined the need to search for outside sources to procure these items.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) intends to sole-source this requirement and award to K&B. The applicable North American Classification Code (NAICS) is 333248, Printing Machinery and Equipment.
This Notice of Intent is NOT a request for competitive quotes. If you feel your firm can provide all the spare parts in the attached list, please submit a capability statement by 4:00PM EDT, 20 September 2023. The decision not to compete this requirement is within the discretion of the Government. Any response to this notice must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. The Government may consider all capability statements received for future requirement. POC is Ramon Ramos, Contract Specialist, ramon.ramos@bep.gov. No telephone calls will be accepted for this action.
