- Description
- The Bureau of Engraving and Printing intends to place an order with Flint Group Flexographic Group Flexographic Products for three hundred (300) PLATES BLANK OFFSET BASF WS II 73 W (29.72 IN. X 33.07 IN) FOR USE IN THE OFFSET PLATE MAKING SECTION. PLATES ARE TO BE STORED IN A COOL DRY ENVIRONMENT (10 DEGREES - 25 DEGRESS C.) AND A RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF MAX. 50%. KBA recommends the use of Flint Group blank plates for their presses in order to maximize the detailed and sharp print quality of the fine lines the BEP has incorporated into the BEP's NexGen of US Currency. Additionally, Flint Group is the OEM of the plate processing equipment that the BEP has acquired to support NexGen production which is currently under warranty with Flint Group Printing Plates. The Flint Group will not stand by their equipment performance standards if other blank plates are used on their processing equipment. In order to ensure that NexGen currency meets all minimum performance details and design at the detailed level necessary to thwart counterfeiters, the use of Flint Group blank plates are the only plates that will meet BEP's minimum needs throughout the pre-press production process on the Flint Group and KBA Giori processing equipment. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302 and 13.106-1. The resulting purchase order shall not exceed the simplified purchase threshold. This procurement is for propriety materials created exclusively for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The procedures set forth in FAR Part 13.500 shall be used. Please forward any questions to Mark Anderson on (202) 874-6255 or Mark.Anderson@bep.treas.gov.
