Vendors are sought to provide innovative ideas regarding some or all of the services involved in the transformation of the current sales and distribution operations the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO).
The goal is to propose, design, and execute a new model for a publications sales and distribution operation on a revenue sharing basis. A successful model will:
- Increase public awareness of these publications
- Expand distribution channels
- Move the brand name into the commercial mainstream
- Utilize the latest technology
- Achieve significant cost reductions
In FY 2004, revenue amounted to almost $25 million.

More information, including a link to the full text of the RFI, is available at: http://www.gpo.gov/salesprogramrfi/. The GPO Press Release on the RFI is available at: http://www.gpo.gov/news/2005/05news06.pdf.
Daniel adds: It is hard to picture how GPO can reestablish a viable sales program without limiting free public access to government information as required by USC Title 44.
