Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) Request for Information (RFI) - R&D Hidden Machine-Readable Security Features - FY26

Solicitation # 2031ZA26N00005

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) under the Department of the Treasury has issued Request for Information (RFI) 2031ZA26N00005 to identify novel, emerging technologies and materials for use as hidden machine-readable security features on future U.S. currency. The agency is seeking features that are difficult for subject matter experts to discover, resistant to simulation or duplication, and readable by highly discriminating standalone detection systems. Proposed solutions must be novel and not currently in the public domain or commercial use. Submissions will be evaluated based on their inherent effectiveness as security features, as well as their durability, environmental acceptability, and compatibility with production and design factors. This RFI is for informational planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a commitment to award a contract. Interested parties must submit a brief technical description and preliminary samples to the BEP R&D technical lead in Washington, D.C., with capability statements due via email to the designated points of contact by 2:00 PM Eastern Time on November 15, 2026.

Solicitation # 2031ZA26N00006

The Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), has issued Request for Information (RFI) 2031ZA26N00006 to identify novel technologies and materials for use as overt, visual authentication security features on future U.S. currency.

These features may be integrated into the banknote substrate and inks or applied directly to the note. This RFI is for market research and informational planning purposes only; it is not a formal solicitation, does not constitute a commitment to contract, and will not result in payment for response costs. Interested parties must submit preliminary samples and a brief technical description to the BEP R&D technical lead, Chris Dollberg, by November 15, 2026. Submissions will be evaluated based on their inherent effectiveness as a security feature, durability, environmental acceptability, and compatibility with production and design factors.
