Circular Letter No. 1096

September 28, 2022

TO: Printing and Publishing Officials of the Federal Government

SUBJECT: GPO’s Regional Offices to Operate as Fully Virtual Agency Procurement Services (APS) Teams

Effective October 1, 2022, GPO will operate its Regional APS Offices as virtual teams. Since March, 2020, our regional offices have successfully operated using almost 100% telework. Based on GPO’s success with remote operations, GPO believes our teams will continue to be able to serve you effectively and efficiently.

Related to eliminating our physical locations, GPO has realigned and restructured the Regional APS Teams. GPO has completed some merging and renaming to best reflect the geographic area covered by each Regional APS Team. Alternate Contract Solutions and Agency Procurement Services Teams in Washington, DC are unchanged.

New Regional APS Team
Northeast Region
MidAtlantic Region
Southeast Region
Northcentral Region
Southcentral Region
Mountain Region
Southwest Region
Northwest Region

Former GPO Offices Included

A color-coded map depicting the updated geographic areas for the Regional APS teams is accessible @ https://www.gpo.gov/docs/default-source/forms-standards-pdf-files/nationwide-procurement-teams-oct-2022.pdf

GPO is committed to providing the same timely procurement consulting and support services for all your printing and publishing requirements that you expect to receive. To reinforce this commitment, GPO’s customers are welcome to work with any APS Team they prefer.

Beginning October 1st, please use the new team email addresses and phone numbers for the submission of orders and communication. To insure there is no disruption in service, the previous Regional Office email addresses will be automatically forwarded to the new addresses provided.

As always, we will serve you with the same devotion to quality, cost savings, and expertise that you have come to expect from GPO. We believe the new team structure will reinforce these GPO core values.

If you have any questions about information contained in this Circular Letter, please contact your GPO National Account Manager at [email protected] or (202) 512-1904.
