Treasury Sole Custody Check Stock

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance is issuing a competitive bid solicitation for the procurement of Treasury Sole Custody Check Stock, specifically 150,000 secure checks designed for official government use. This is a one-time purchase, with the contract to be fulfilled through a single supplier, and the project involves detailed specifications for both the security features and the physical characteristics of the check stock. The security features are comprehensive, including watermarks, microprint, UV-visible fibers, heat-sensitive inks, and VOID pantographs, all aimed at preventing counterfeiting and unauthorized alterations. The check stock must be produced on pressure seal, laser-compatible sheets with specific security and durability requirements, including consecutive control numbering, micro-perforations, and compatibility with standard folding and sealing equipment. Delivery is scheduled to occur at the Department’s facility in Green Island, NY, with the forms expected to meet strict security and quality standards, and the entire process is governed by detailed specifications outlined in the solicitation documents. Bidders are required to submit their responses via a designated Bid Response Sheet by October 10, 2025, and must include pricing based on a per-thousand-unit rate. The procurement process is managed under the agency’s discretionary purchasing authority, with no set-aside goals for minority, women, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The contract’s scope emphasizes security, quality, and compliance with state and banking standards, and the process involves detailed communication and documentation, including a Q&A update clarifying delivery and order specifics. The project’s successful completion will ensure the Department’s ability to securely produce and manage official checks, with strict adherence to security features and delivery timelines.
