Fed In-plants - Bank On Them

Take the Dallas Fed, for example. For the past two years the 11th District has bid on and won a job to print a general information publication for the Boston Fed.

Since the Boston Fed's in-plant doesn't produce any offset work in-house, it outsources. Yet, because it functions under Congressional oversight, it must bid jobs out. Fortunately for everyone involved, the Dallas Fed just happens to have the best price.
