About this opportunity
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), an agency within the Department of the Treasury, published this Special Notice on March 11, 2026, announcing its intent to award a sole source contract for specialized spare parts. The contract covers three specific KBA proprietary components: MAP5336 (carbide blade for KBA machinery), MAP5351 (holder assembly for print unit equipment), and MAP5700 (cam assembly for infeed equipment). The intended contractor is Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions SA (KBBS), and the Government is utilizing a Justification and Approval under FAR 13.106-1(b) to proceed with the sole source procurement. This procurement falls under the industrial machinery manufacturing sector, specifically for printing and duplicating equipment components.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to notify interested sources of the Government's intent to award a sole source contract while providing an opportunity for other contractors to submit information explaining why competition should be conducted. Interested parties must submit written responses via email to diane.rollins@treasury.gov and naweed.nezam@treasury.gov no later than 12:00 PM EST on March 17, 2026—a six-day response window. To participate, potential contractors must be registered and maintain active status in the System for Award Management (SAM). The Government has emphasized that any costs associated with preparing and submitting responses are the sole responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed. Ultimately, the decision to conduct a competitive procurement versus proceeding with the sole source award remains entirely within the Government's discretion.
