GPO RFI-Offset and Inkjet-Treated Paper

The United States Government Publishing Office (GPO), Acquisition Services, issued this sources sought notice under solicitation number RFI-26-0028 to conduct market research for offset and inkjet-treated paper products. The agency seeks to identify capable sources and assess industry capacity regarding availability, production capacity, supply chain considerations, and rough order of magnitude pricing. This research supports an effort to enhance the quality and performance of congressional print products as the GPO explores a phased transition from web offset paper rolls to inkjet-treated paper to accommodate evolving printing technologies.

The government requires information on the industry’s ability to supply both offset and inkjet-treated paper, including the capacity to support a transition period where both product types may be required concurrently. Performance involves delivery to the GPO headquarters in Washington, DC, or the facility in Laurel, Maryland. Responses to this request for information are due by May 11, 2026, and the notice includes two attachments: a government paper specification standard and a specific RFI document. Jasmin Webb is the designated point of contact for this market research.
