The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) requires a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for oils and greases to maintain numbering blocks used in currency production at its Eastern Currency Facility (ECF) and Western Currency Facility (WCF). This procurement aims to improve efficiency and prevent stock-outs of critical consumable spare parts over a five-year period. Vendors must quote prices and lead times for items like OIL1100, which will be delivered to both facilities across five ordering periods from January 2026 to January 2031. A Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will oversee technical aspects, but cannot alter contract terms. There are no security or government-furnished resources involved, and deliverables include correct items, quantities, and timely delivery to specified locations.
