About this opportunity
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, an agency within the Department of the Treasury, has published a Special Notice regarding a sole source justification for the procurement of OIL1100 ISOSOLV LOW VOC Wipe Solvent in 55-gallon drums. This notice, posted on November 20, 2025, documents the agency's intent to award a contract directly to Ecolink, Inc. without competitive bidding. The solvent is used for cleaning Currency Over Printing Equipment (COPE) presses at the Bureau's facilities. The justification for this sole source procurement is based on Ecolink's status as the sole developer and owner of this specific solvent formulation. The procurement falls under NAICS code 325998 for miscellaneous chemical product manufacturing.
The primary objective of this procurement is to obtain a specialized wipe solvent that complies with District of Columbia environmental regulations requiring volatile organic compound (VOC) levels below 70 percent, thereby protecting employee health while maintaining equipment performance and operational standards. The due date for responses or comments on this special notice is December 4, 2025. A Notice of Intent was previously posted on SAM.gov on October 16, 2025, with a closing date of October 23, 2025, during which no industry responses were received, further supporting the sole source justification. While this is a civilian procurement, there is no specific set-aside designation, and Ecolink, Inc. is identified as a small business. The Bureau intends to proceed with a direct award to Ecolink based on their unique qualification as the only supplier capable of meeting both the technical requirements and environmental compliance standards necessary for this application.
