Daryl Stewart

Daryl Stewart supports the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer within the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, playing a pivotal role in securing specialized manufacturing, engineering, and technical services essential to the production of U.S. currency and its advanced security infrastructure. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions under federal procurement regulations, Stewart ensures the timely delivery of high-precision equipment, proprietary printing inks, and maintenance systems that uphold the integrity and anti-counterfeiting standards of federal currency. Their work directly enables the Bureau’s mission to safeguard the nation’s monetary system through technically rigorous and mission-critical procurement actions. Stewart maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including SICPA SECURINK CORP, NAKUPUNA SERVICES LLC, RUCHMAN AND ASSOCIATES, INC., SUNTIFF, LLC, and RIO TECHNICAL SERVICES, LLC—organizations recognized for their expertise in security printing technologies, industrial automation, and specialized engineering support. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in high-tolerance fabrication, proprietary material formulation, and mission-critical system maintenance, often requiring stringent compliance with federal security and quality control standards. Stewart demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately 40% of procurements structured to support small business participation, including 30% designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides and 10% reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, the consistent use of set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity within the small business industrial base supporting national security printing. Primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 333993 (Packaging Machinery Manufacturing) and 541330 (Engineering Services), with significant focus on 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) and 541611 (Management Consulting). These categories reflect expertise in procuring precision machinery, process engineering, and operational support services critical to the Bureau’s high-volume, high-security currency production environment.
