Technical Description & Mandatory Legal Specifications The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC), intends to award a competitive commercial contract for printed prop currency that visually represents U.S. Dollars and Indian Rupees for training purposes. To comply with federal anti-counterfeiting laws (including 18 U.S.C. § 474), all prop currency offered at actual currency dimensions and printed on both sides must be heavily modified and fictionalized to ensure it cannot be mistaken for genuine currency. Offers must incorporate all of the following modifications on the printed props:

  • Altered portraits (e.g., modified facial expressions),
  • Altered vignettes (e.g., modified building designs),
  • Explicit visual disclaimers printed clearly on the bills (e.g., “FOR MOTION PICTURE PURPOSES”, “COPY”, or “IN PROPS WE TRUST”), and
  • The complete absence of genuine security features and the use of modified, inaccurate border designs.

Note to Offerors: You must submit a digital product data sheet or visual proof with your quote demonstrating these mandatory modifications. Evaluation is based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Quotes failing to explicitly prove adherence to these artistic deviations will be deemed in violation of federal law, evaluated as technically unacceptable, and rejected.
