About this opportunity
The Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source contract for specific Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) spare parts for currency manufacturing press equipment. The notice pertains to four specific spare parts manufactured exclusively by Buhler Group, including components such as a traction rope, three-phase motor, solenoid valve, and ultrasonic level control unit. BEP has determined that these parts are proprietary to Buhler Group and cannot be sourced from alternative manufacturers. The procurement falls under the North American Classification Code (NAICS) 333248 for All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing. This special notice is informational and does not constitute a formal solicitation for bids or proposals.
Contractors interested in challenging the sole-source determination must submit a capability statement by 4:00 PM EDT on December 6, 2024, to demonstrate potential competitive alternatives. The government requires clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous if contractors wish to contest the sole-source approach. While the notice is not a request for competitive quotes, BEP may consider capability statements for potential future requirements. Interested parties should contact William Corley II, Business Analyst, via email at william.corleyii@bep.gov, though telephone calls will not be accepted. The decision to proceed with a non-competitive procurement remains at the discretion of the government. Contractors seeking to participate must provide comprehensive documentation proving their ability to supply all specified spare parts with equivalent specifications and quality to the OEM components.
