NOTICE TO BIDDERS

REGARDING WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE

The Public Printer and the Inspector General have made a strong commitment to reducing and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in Government Printing Office (GPO) programs and operations.

In keeping with this commitment, a GPO Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Telephone Hotline has been established on 1-800-743-7574. The hotline will be staffed Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. through 6 p.m. (these hours refer to the prevailing Washington, DC time).

Contractors or their employees who discover instances of waste, fraud, or abuse in dealing with Government employees or other contractors are encouraged to notify the GPO. The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) will use a telephone answering machine with a recorded message to accommodate those persons who may want to provide information during non-duty hours and weekends. However, callers are encouraged to speak directly to an OIG hotline representative.

As an alternative to the hotline, contractors may submit information by writing to the following mailing address:

Office of Inspector General
Office of Investigations
Post Office Box 1790

Washington, DC 20013-1790

Individuals are not required to identify themselves when providing information by telephone or in writing. However, those electing to identify themselves are assured of confidentiality.

Contractors are encouraged to prominently display the GPO National Hotline poster while consideration is given to making such a display mandatory under GPO contract terms.
