About this opportunity

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), under the Department of the Treasury, has issued a special notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for specialized spare parts. The procurement involves multiple critical components including ceramic rollers, carbide blades, holders, cams, and motor assemblies, all manufactured by Koenig & Bauer (KBA) for various BEP printing equipment systems including COPE, IFS, LEPE, and SOI III operations. The intended contractor is Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions SA (KBBS), and the BEP plans to utilize a sole source justification under FAR 13.106-1(b) for this firm-fixed-price contract. This notice serves as a market research tool to determine whether competitive procurement alternatives exist. The contract falls under NAICS code 333248 for Industrial Machinery Manufacturing and PSC code 3610 for Printing Equipment.

The primary purpose of this notice is to provide other potential contractors an opportunity to demonstrate their capability to supply these highly specialized printing equipment components before the government proceeds with the sole source award. Interested parties must submit written responses exclusively via email to the designated procurement officers by 12:00 PM EST on October 17, 2025. Contractors must be registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for consideration. The government emphasizes that any information received will only be used to evaluate whether a competitive procurement should be conducted instead of the planned sole source award. All costs associated with preparing and submitting responses are the sole responsibility of the interested contractors and will not be reimbursed by the government.
