About this opportunity
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a heat exchanger procurement to Mainstream, Fluid and Air, LLC, with a response deadline of July 10, 2026. This is a Total Small Business set-aside.
BEP's DC Currency Facility intends to award a purchase order under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for one RTB-6A-22x72 replacement tube bundle and one HXR-6A-20x116-04-AA shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The heat exchanger, in continuous use since 1975, has experienced major tubing damage that has degraded the HVAC system's ability to provide heating and cooling to manufacturing directorates and offices. A recent inspection identified a major leak requiring urgent remediation. BEP justifies sole-source award to Mainstream on the basis of urgent and compelling circumstances that preclude competition and make only this source reasonably available.
The procurement is classified NAICS 332410 (Power Boiler and Heat Exchanger Manufacturing, 750-employee small business threshold) and PSC 4420 (Heat Exchangers and Steam Condensers). This notice is not a request for competitive quotations; the Government retains discretion to decline competition based on responses received. Interested parties must submit responses electronically to Contracting Officer Terry Lawrence at terry.lawrence@treasury.gov by July 10, 2026. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted.
