Notice of Intent to Sole Source for UCAS2 Sensor Maintenance & Repairs

The Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing Office, through the Treasury Common Services Center, has published a Notice of Intent to Sole Source a contract for UCAS2 sensor system maintenance and repairs to Authentix, Inc. This special notice, posted on February 12, 2026, explicitly states that this is not a request for competitive proposals and reflects the government's intent to award a sole source contract based on the proprietary nature of the UCAS2 sensor system. The procurement falls under NAICS code 333248 (All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing) and PSC code J036 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild Of Equipment- Special Industry Machinery). The Bureau of Engraving and Printing's Office of Quality Operations determined that sole sourcing to the original equipment manufacturer is the appropriate approach for this specialized system.

The contract encompasses annual preventative maintenance, emergency repairs, and software upgrades for the UCAS2 sensor system, with an anticipated performance period of one twelve-month base period followed by four optional twelve-month periods. Interested sources must submit responses no later than 4:30 PM EST on February 28, 2026, and must be registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM) at sam.gov to be considered. The government will conduct all repair and maintenance work at the contractor's repair depot location. While this notice indicates the government's intent to sole source, the determination not to compete remains solely at the government's discretion, and information submitted will be evaluated only to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted. Contractors seeking additional information should contact Contracting Officer Marcia Sellers at marico.sellers@treasury.gov.
