T -- Security Features for Security Documents

The United States Postal Service is soliciting preliminary information from interested parties regarding both overt and covert security features specifically designed for use with USPS Money Orders. Respondents are required to provide a basic description of each proposed security feature, including its type, the equipment needed for both production and application, and any relevant patents or patent applications associated with the feature. This effort aims to identify innovative and effective security measures to enhance the protection of postal financial instruments against counterfeiting and fraud. The request is part of a sources-sought notice posted in early 2002, where the USPS is gathering initial data to inform potential procurement decisions. Submissions should be directed to the designated Contracting Officer to be considered for further evaluation.
