About this opportunity
The Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing has posted a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) Special Notice for the procurement of BEP Part # PRM1769, Blade, Dry, a replacement spare part for Super Orlof Intaglio III Press equipment. This Special Notice documents the government's intent to award a sole source contract to Industrial Knife CO Inc., identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer and sole qualified vendor capable of supplying this critical component. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing's Office of Supply Chain Management submitted the justification through the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, citing the unavailability of alternative sources in the market. The applicable industry classification is All Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing (NAICS 333248), with the product falling under the Printing, Duplicating, and Bookbinding Equipment category (PSC 3610). This procurement action supports currency manufacturing operations at both BEP facilities.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to justify the proposed sole source award under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) based on the lack of competitive alternatives. Industrial Knife CO Inc. is the only entity authorized and capable of providing compatible replacement parts, as the OEM will not accept responsibility for repairs involving non-compatible components. A Notice of Intent was posted on SAM.gov on December 18, 2025, with a closing date of January 5, 2026, which yielded no responsive bids from industry, further supporting the sole source determination. The Special Notice comment period closes on February 5, 2026, providing interested parties an opportunity to submit comments or challenge the sole source justification. Market research conducted by BEP confirms unchanged market conditions with no identified alternative sources possessing the necessary technical capabilities to meet equipment compatibility requirements. Interested contractors should submit any protests or comments regarding this sole source justification by the stated deadline.
