The Government Printing Office offers a public display
of Printing Procurement Department bid solicitations
and makes available single copies of specific solicitations
free of charge, upon request, to interested parties
at GPO's procurement offices.
In addition to the practice of providing single
copies of individual bid solicitations, prepackaged
copies of all posted GPO solicitations and abstracts
for commercial printing contracts are provided daily
on a cost-recovery basis to those persons who are
interested in obtaining this comprehensive service.

office(s) from which they wish to receive this service.
An initial deposit equal to the cost of one month's
supply plus the cost of the first month's supply
