About this opportunity
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), a civilian agency within the Department of the Treasury, has published a Special Notice regarding a Sole Source Justification (SSJ) for the procurement of OIL1100 ISOSOLV LOW VOC Wipe Solvent in 55-gallon drums. This solvent is used in maintenance and cleaning operations on the Bureau's Currency Over Printing Equipment (COPE) presses. The notice was posted on December 18, 2025, and establishes the justification for awarding a sole-source contract to Ecolink, Inc., a small business identified as the only vendor capable of meeting the government's specific requirements. A Notice of Intent was previously published on SAM.gov on October 16, 2025, which closed on October 23, 2025, and generated no industry responses.
The procurement is justified based on the unique environmental and operational requirements mandated by District of Columbia environmental regulations, specifically Chapter 20 Section 716.8, which requires maintaining VOC levels below 70 percent while ensuring employee safety and maintaining banknote quality. Ecolink, Inc. developed and owns the proprietary rights to this specific solvent formulation, positioning it as the sole source capable of meeting these stringent requirements. The deadline for responses or comments regarding this sole source justification is January 2, 2026. While this is not a set-aside contract, the small business designation of Ecolink, Inc. applies to the procurement. Interested parties with relevant capabilities or concerns regarding the sole source justification determination are encouraged to submit comments by the stated deadline through the appropriate federal procurement channels.
