Circular Letter No. 1184

November 5, 2026

TO: Printing and Publishing Officials of the Federal Government

SUBJECT: GPO Transition to G-Invoicing for All New Funding Obligations, Effective February 1, 2027.

Beginning February 1, 2027, the Government Publishing Office (GPO) will process all new orders and settlement/billing activity for those orders through the Department of Treasury’s G-Invoicing platform. This transition aligns GPO with the Department of Treasury’s government-wide mandate to transition all intragovernmental transactions to G-Invoicing by October 1, 2027.

Requirements Beginning February 1, 2027

  • Agencies must have General Terms & Conditions (GT&C/7600A) and Orders (7600B) established.
  • All new publishing, printing, and service orders with GPO must be executed through G-Invoicing.
  • Open obligations as of January 31, 2027 should be settled with GPO prior before May 31, 2027. This may require billing on estimate to complete the transaction(s) before the legacy IPAC process is sunset.
  • Legacy IPAC funds already on deposit with GPO should either be expended or requested to be returned, unless needed to reimburse GPO for open obligations. Proper planning of this step will ensure GPO can refund unobligated funds through IPAC. We are unaware of a mechanism to return unobligated funds after September 30, 2027.
  • Legacy IPAC Deposit Accounts may not be replenished with FY27 funds, except where an account reflects a negative balance. Agencies should coordinate with GPO for these deposits.

Required Agency Actions

Prior to February 1, 2027, agencies should:

  1. Establish GT&C with GPO in G-Invoicing.
  2. Initiate Orders for anticipated FY27 work.
  3. Review Legacy Deposit Account balances and plan to fully expend them or request funds returns prior to May 31, 2027.
  4. Identify any Legacy Deposit Accounts and ensure deposited funds cover all open obligations. Only in cases where replenishments are needed to cover obligations can an agency use FY27 funds.
  5. Coordinate with GPO to settle prior-year open obligations.

Agencies Unable to Meet the Transition Date

Agencies that are unable to comply by February 1, 2027, or that anticipate challenges in eliminating Legacy IPAC activity should contact the GPO G-Invoicing Team before January 15, 2027, to establish an appropriate transition timeline.
