The BEP will conduct a Pre-test conference at 9:00 a.m. on November 7, 2001 at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Interested suppliers may submit sheet-fed dry offset ink samples to the BEP for testing on a De La Rue Giori Super Simultan 212 sheet-fed perfecting offset rotary currency press on or before November 21, 2001. There are no standard drawdowns available for release to interested suppliers for color matching. The ink samples should meet the requirements of the BEP?s draft Specification for sheet-fed offset currency inks. All unused ink may be returned to the interested supplier at the supplier?s expense. The Government reserves the right to cease this pre-test effort if it adversely impacts the BEP production schedules and/or would delay the competitive solicitation process.
