Video Spectral Comparator (VSC) Maintenance Services

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s District Currency Facility plans to award a non-personal services contract to Foster & Freeman USA Inc. for Video Spectral Comparator maintenance services under national security sole source authority, with no competition permitted due to statutory and security requirements. The government will not exercise direct supervision or control over the service providers, who remain solely accountable to the contractor, who in turn bears full responsibility to the government. The solicitation, identified as BEP-26-AP-0397, is posted under NAICS code 334516 and is classified as a presolicitation with no set-aside provisions. The official issue date is estimated for July 1, 2026, with responses due by July 15, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, though this deadline remains subject to change. Performance will occur at the agency’s facility in Washington, D.C., with JerKendra Holloway serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries.
