Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) Request for Information (RFI) - R&D Hidden Machine-Readable Security Features - FY26The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), under the Department of the Treasury, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) designated 2031ZA26N00005 seeking innovative, hidden machine-readable security features for future U.S. currency. This RFI, posted on November 14, 2025, with a response deadline of November 15, 2026, is intended solely for market research and informational purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation or contract. BEP aims to gather technical descriptions and preliminary non-proprietary samples of novel security technologies that are difficult to detect, reverse-engineer, or duplicate, and can be authenticated by standalone detection systems. The features sought must be new, not publicly disclosed or commercially available, and compatible with currency production and durability standards under typical environmental conditions. Respondents are required to submit a capability statement, brief technical descriptions, and physical preliminary samples to the BEP office in Washington, D.C. The evaluation will focus on four key technical attributes: the feature’s concealment from experts, resistance to functional analysis, machine readability by a discriminating detection device, and resistance to simulation or duplication both materially and functionally. The RFI emphasizes that no proprietary or classified information should be submitted, as BEP may use non-proprietary responses in future solicitations. Correspondence and submissions may be sent either electronically via designated BEP officials or physically to the BEP’s Office of Technology & Development. This RFI carries no commitment for contract award or payment, does not require standard certifications or compliance statements, and does not include contract clauses, pricing, or performance periods. The information obtained will inform future research and development efforts but creates no binding contractual obligations on the government.
