AI Contract Overview
The Department of the Treasury, through the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is awarding a sole-source, Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Color Shifting Ink, Type II (CSI T2). This specialized ink serves as a critical counterfeit deterrent for U.S. currency and must be compatible with specific printing equipment, including DeLa Rue Giori 1-10 and Super Orlof SOI presses. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.302-1 as there is only one responsible source capable of providing the ink due to exclusive intellectual property rights and proprietary formulations. The contract has an estimated value of $70,294,019.83 and a total period of performance of five years, divided into five one-year ordering periods. The need date for the award is July 1, 2025, with the first delivery required by July 7, 2025, at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing facilities in Washington, DC. Because this is a sole-source acquisition based on technical necessity and exclusivity, there was no competitive evaluation process; instead, the price was determined to be fair and reasonable based on an Independent Government Cost Estimate.
