The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract for grinder cylinders utilizing the authority under FAR Subpart 13.500(a) to KBA NotaSys, SA.

The Office of Engraving has a requirement for two (2) Super Orlof Intaglio (SOI) grinder cylinders for use in the Platemaking division. The SOI grinder cylinders, manufactured and fabricated by KBA NotaSys, are designed to fit on existing BEP equipment which consists of Rastelli and Supertec grinders.

The grinder cylinders are ISO 900l complaint and must maintain critical tolerances to ensure repeatability of functions during operations for currency manufacturing. KBA holds the proprietary designs for the SOI grinder cylinders and for security reasons the BEP cannot provide drawings or any cylinders for re-engineering purposes.
