The contract falls under NAICS code 322299, which covers other paperboard container manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees. The Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of Engraving & Printing is overseeing this procurement, and the notice emphasizes that it is not a solicitation for proposals but a notice of intent to sole source, with the possibility that the government may decide not to compete the contract based on responses received.

Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) Request for Information (RFI) - R&D Hidden Machine-Readable Security Features - FY26
Solicitation # 2031ZA26N00005
The U.S. Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), has issued Request for Information (RFI) 2031ZA26N00005 to gather information regarding novel, emerging, hidden machine-readable security features for future generations of U.S. currency. This RFI is for informational planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a commitment to award a contract. The BEP is specifically seeking technologies that are not currently in the public domain or commercial use and are designed to be difficult for even subject matter experts to discover or duplicate. Ideal features must be readable by highly discriminating standalone detection systems while remaining resistant to simulation in both material and response. Interested parties are requested to submit preliminary samples and brief technical descriptions to the BEP R&D technical lead, Chris Dollberg, at the Washington, D.C. office. Responses must be submitted no later than 2:00 PM Eastern Time on November 15, 2026. Respondents are responsible for properly marking any proprietary information, though the government reserves the right to use non-proprietary technical information in future solicitations. All costs associated with responding to this RFI are the sole responsibility of the responding parties, as the government will not provide payment for any information or administrative expenses incurred.

Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) Request for Information (RFI) - R&D Overt Security Features - FY26
Solicitation # 2031ZA26N00006
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), a division of the Department of the Treasury, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) regarding research and development for overt security features for future U.S. currency. This market research initiative seeks to identify novel, counterfeit-deterrent technologies and materials that are easy for the general public to authenticate under various lighting conditions without the need for external devices. The desired features must be difficult to simulate through traditional printing, digital reproduction, or commercially available materials and may be incorporated into the banknote substrate, inks, or applied directly to the note. This RFI is for informational planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a commitment to enter into a contract. Interested parties are required to submit preliminary samples and a brief technical description to the BEP R&D technical lead, Chris Dollberg, by the deadline of November 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. Submissions will be evaluated based on their inherent effectiveness, compatibility with production factors, durability, environmental acceptability, and processing requirements. Respondents are responsible for all costs incurred during this process, and the government will not pay for any information or administrative expenses. Additionally, respondents must ensure that no proprietary, classified, or sensitive information is included in their responses, as the government reserves the right to use non-proprietary technical information in future solicitations.
