Anti-Counterfeiting Security Design & Integration

The contract seeks the design and integration of specialized security marks that are directional and non-replicable, visible only when viewed at precisely 30 degrees above perpendicular to the surface and completely invisible at any deviation of 45 degrees off-axis. These marks are intended for application on tamper-proof validation stickers to ensure authentic verification and deter counterfeiting through optical specificity that cannot be replicated using conventional printing or imaging techniques. The solution must be durable, compatible with existing sticker substrates and production workflows, and maintain performance under environmental stressors such as humidity, temperature variation, and abrasion. This is a subcontract opportunity issued by the State of Rhode Island under NAICS code 541990, with a response deadline of June 24, 2026. The work is part of a broader initiative to enhance security features on official validation documentation, and the successful vendor must deliver a proprietary optical technology that meets the exacting angular visibility requirements without reliance on digital or electronic components. All deliverables must be fully documented, including manufacturing specifications and quality control protocols, to ensure consistent implementation across future production cycles. Proposals must demonstrate technical feasibility, past experience with similar optical security applications, and a viable plan for integration into existing sticker fabrication systems.
