About this opportunity
The Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing has issued a sole source justification for the procurement of a specialized chromium target component (Part #MAP4102) used in currency manufacturing equipment. This Special Notice, posted on September 29, 2025, relates to the acquisition of three chromium target tiles for high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPiMS) processes essential to the Bureau's printing operations. The component is specifically designed for Super Simultan, Intaglio, COPE, and LEPE presses at BEP facilities and falls under NAICS code 333248 for Industrial Machinery Manufacturing. The Bureau intends to sole-source this requirement to Protec Surface Technologies SRL, identifying them as the only capable supplier. The procurement is classified under PSC 3610 for Printing, Duplicating, and Bookbinding Equipment.
The sole source justification stems from the highly specialized nature of the required component, which is critical to the Bureau's currency manufacturing processes and can only be obtained from the original equipment manufacturer's approved supplier. A Notice of Intent was previously posted on SAM.gov from September 23-26, 2025, with no industry responses received, confirming the lack of alternative sources in the marketplace. Market research conducted by the Bureau validated that no other suppliers possess the necessary technical capabilities to provide this specialized spare part. Using aftermarket alternatives would void the equipment warranty and potentially compromise the integrity of currency production operations. The procurement is being managed by the Bureau's Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, with the current notice serving as formal notification of the sole source determination. Contractors interested in this opportunity should note the October 13, 2025 due date, though the justification indicates the requirement will be fulfilled through the identified sole source supplier.
