Sole Source Justification (SSJ) for BEP Part # 2M030742 - Pawl Set Complete Retaining and Part # ELP1414 - Board, Trackingframe

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) requires two proprietary mechanical parts—Pawl Set Complete (Part 2M030742) and Board, Tracking‑frame (Part ELP1414)—that are exclusive to Zeiser Inc. Because Zeiser holds the sole licensing rights, the agency is pursuing a sole‑source award to procure these essential components for its printing presses at the Western Currency Facility (Washington, D.C.) and Eastern Currency Facility (Fort Worth, Texas). No other vendors responded to prior Notices of Intent, confirming the lack of competition. The solicitation was posted on 23 Sep 2026 with a response deadline of 7 Oct 2026. The contract will be awarded directly to Zeiser Inc. after justification approval. • Proprietary OEM parts required for currency‑printing presses; only Zeiser Inc. can supply them. • Work location: BEP facilities in Washington, D.C., and Fort Worth, Texas. • No monetary value disclosed; procurement is below the simplified acquisition threshold. • Sole‑source justification cites urgency, exclusive licensing, and lack of market alternatives. • Primary contact is Melva Robinson (Treasury).
