Description

The BEP is interested in fostering the development of an inexpensive, small “pocket size” device that will be used to determine the denomination of US currency notes for the blind and low vision community. This reader must be able to determine the denomination of all series 1996 currency and newer designs, including the upcoming 2003 designs, as well as the existing $1 denomination design. Technology exists in series 1996 and newer currency designs that may facilitate a reliable, cost-effective method to denominate currency. This technology can be revealed to all interested and reputable parties, with accompanying confidentiality agreements. The Bureau welcomes the opportunity to work with colleges, universities, non-profit organizations, public institutions, and private sector organizations. Interested parties can review a draft specification, which can be downloaded from the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website at www.eps.gov. This is a SOURCES SOUGHT announcement only.
