E-MAIL: Karlitta Reese, karlitta.reese@bep.treas.gov. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) intends to negotiate a Sole Source purchase order with Bobst Group. Award will be made on a sole source basis to provide a 3-knife cylinder to be mounted on an existing off-line perforator machine to increase the current production rate. Because the Bobst Group also manufactured the perforator machine, they are the only source to build a custom knife cylinder to accommodate the machine. Posted 06/22/99 (D-SN345818). (0173)
