GPO Facing Formidable Challenges
And besides, executive agencies will still be allowed to use GPO for procurement, points out Cooper.
"GPO will still be very much part of the procurement system" he says. Also, agencies will not necessarily have to start their own procurement programs. He notes that the Department of Defense already has print procurement professionals in addition to its extensive in-house printing capabilities. A lot of executive branch work may get handled through these people.
