This
notice is being issued by the United States Postal Service (Postal Service or
USPS) as a Research and Development Request for Information (RFI) Sought. The
Postal Service desires to obtain U.S. domestic sources of information to serve
as a market survey to aid in exploring opportunities to revise its stamp
non-artistic design and manufacturing process. The Postal Service is
particularly interested in leveraging advanced or state-of-the-art design and
printing technologies available and is also seeking additional potential
sources to manufacture stamps.
Currently,
Postage Stamps are printed using four methods: Offset, Intaglio, Rotogravure
and the combination of Offset and Intaglio.
