AI Contract Overview
The Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), intends to award a sole source firm-fixed-price contract to Protec Surface Technologies S.R.L. for maintenance services on four IPC 1100 Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) machines. The scope of work includes preventive maintenance, calibration, inspections, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and emergency repair services to ensure the equipment produces high quality chrome coatings for intaglio plates. Services will be performed at the Washington Currency Facility in Washington, DC, and the Western Currency Facility in Fort Worth, TX. The anticipated contract structure consists of one base year and four one-year option periods. Under FAR 6.302-1, the government has determined that Protec Surface Technologies S.R.L. is the only responsible source capable of performing these services due to their proprietary knowledge of the system's design, engineering, and exclusive intellectual property rights to the required software and diagnostics. Utilizing unauthorized third-party providers would void the manufacturer's warranty. While this is a notice of intent to sole source, other responsible sources may submit capability information by September 9, 2026, provided they can demonstrate authorization from the OEM to service the machines without voiding the warranty. Price reasonableness will be determined by the Contracting Officer using price analysis techniques and an Independent Government Cost Estimate.
