The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), part of the Department of the Treasury, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify suppliers for a Warehouse Management System (WMS) at its Western Currency Facility. This initiative aims to automate inventory management through the integration of barcode scanners and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to enhance efficiency. The desired system must support functionalities such as shipment record creation, inventory tracking using Cash Pak numbers, assignment of location identifiers, and real-time capacity monitoring of vault inventory. Vendors are requested to provide technical details about their systems, along with company information, including contract details and pricing structures. The IRS has indicated that responses should focus on specific capabilities, metrics for effectiveness, and implementation schedules, while avoiding proprietary or sensitive information. Submissions are due by April 4, 2025, highlighting the government’s intent to solicit non-proprietary technical information for potential solutions in the future. This RFI represents a strategic effort to improve operational efficiencies within the BEP’s currency production and distribution processes.

The government RFI for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) seeks information on a Warehouse Management System (WMS), which may also include a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solution, although RPA is not the primary focus. The RFI clarifies that WMS and Vault Management System (VMS) terms can be used interchangeably. The BEP currently utilizes Oracle eBusiness Suite for tracking inventory and intends for the new WMS to integrate with this system rather than replace it. A significant aspect of the inquiry includes the need for real-time metrics on vault capacity, such as current product volume and remaining space. The government is also requesting vendors to provide not only the WMS software but also essential operational technology, such as barcode scanners and mobile devices. Additionally, vendors should include comprehensive pricing estimates for both software and equipment in their submissions. Overall, this RFI outlines the BEP's goal of gathering detailed proposals to enhance inventory management while integrating existing systems and ensuring adequate support technologies are in place.
