An Opportunity for the New Public Printer—Increase GPO Work for Private Sector Printers
There is a solution. Gindlesperger said the solution is to withdraw waivers and put more work into GPO. When GPO procures this work, GPO charges a fair handling fee which the agencies pay. This money can be used to operate GPO as Congress reduces its financial support for GPO.
"We believe Mr. Boarman will have only one bite at the apple to strengthen GPO's partnership with those that do the bulk of GPO's work. Everyone wins if he is successful in driving more work to fill downtime in the GPO in-plant production operation while, at the same time, dramatically increasing work to private sector printers," Gindlesperger said. "This new work is readily available through the cancellation of waivers. When that happens, agency costs decrease as agencies retire from the printing business, which is not where they belong nor is it where their core competencies reside."
