The Government Printing Office produces, procures, and disseminates printed and electronic publications of the Congress, executive departments, and establishments of the Federal Government.
Organizational Chart The Government Printing Office (GPO) opened for business on March 4, 1861. GPO's duties are defined in title 44 of the U.S. Code. The Public Printer, who serves as the head of GPO, is appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
Activities
Headquartered in Washington, DC, with a total employment of approximately 2,200, GPO is responsible for the production and distribution of information products and services for all three branches of the Federal Government. GPO is the Federal Government's primary centralized resource for producing, procuring, cataloging, indexing, authenticating, disseminating and preserving the official information products of the U.S. Government in digital and tangible forms.
While many of our Nation's most important products, such as the Congressional Record and Federal Register, are produced at GPO's main plant, the majority of the Government's printing needs are met through a longstanding partnership with America's printing industry. GPO procures 75 percent of all printing orders through private sector vendors across the country, competitively buying products and services from thousands of private sector companies in all 50 States. The contracts cover the entire spectrum of printing and publishing services and are available to fit almost any firm from the largest to the smallest.
GPO disseminates Federal information products through a sales program, distribution network of more than 1,200 Federal libraries nationwide, and via GPO's Federal Digital System (FDsys). More than 286,000 Federal Government document titles are available to the public at www.fdsys.gov.
Printed copies of many documents, ranging from Supreme Court opinions to reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, may also be purchased as follows:
