An Opportunity for the New Public Printer—Increase GPO Work for Private Sector Printers

This led to the founding of the United States Government Printing Office (GPO) in 1813. Today, as then, GPO's role is to be the centralized printer and procurer of printing for the federal government including the Executive Office of the President, Congress, the Supreme Court, executive departments and independent agencies. Its core mission remains Keeping America Informed as it supports the work of the executive, legislative and judicial branches. As required by Title 44 of the U.S. Code, all federal agencies are to use GPO to procure their printing.
