Why bid Government Publishing Office
Most GPO contracting flows through commercial printing IDIQs with small-biz pools — printing is one of the federal government's most-set-aside-friendly category codes. The Term Contract program reserves recurring-print work for small business by default. ePassport-book contracts are a specialized closed shop dominated by a few cleared printers.
