GPO Awarded $385M in Contracts with Private-Sector PSPs
The U.S. Government Publishing Office’s (GPO) print procurement program awarded $385 million in contracts with private-sector printing companies across the country to meet the printing and publishing needs of Federal agencies in fiscal year 2025. This work represented more than 61,400 orders. Nearly 79 percent of all printing ordered by Federal agencies from GPO is performed by private sector firms working under contract with the Agency. GPO typically competitively awards contracts to approximately 1,000 printing contractors a year. Nearly 10,000 companies are registered to do business with the Agency, using GPO as their one-stop shop for print and related services contract opportunities. In fiscal year 2025, GPO awarded jobs to vendors in all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam. GPO’s relationship with the private sector dates to the 1940s. This program provides significant economic opportunity for the printing industry and local economies.

- NPC, INC. – Pennsylvania $66.5 million
- XEROX CORPORATION – District of Columbia $43.8 million

“Every year, our partnerships with private-sector printers help support local economies while making it easier for Federal agencies to get the printing services they need,” said GPO Director Hugh Nathanial Halpern. “The strength of our print procurement program really comes down to a few things: great industry partners, our first-rate customer service experience, and our commitment to the taxpayers we all serve.”
Studies by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Joint Committee on Printing have shown that the most cost-effective use of Federal agency printing dollars is through GPO’s partnership with the private sector printing and information product industry. Federal agencies realize significant savings by using GPO, as compared to printing products themselves. In addition, when agencies use GPO, their information products are made available to the public through GPO’s GovInfo (link below), the Federal Depository Library, and Government Publication Sales programs.
