Printing Operations at the Department of Defense Gao ID: T-NSIAD-93-19 July 15, 1993

In 1990, the Pentagon announced the consolidation of all Defense Department (DOD) printing and duplicating services under a single manager. DOD expects this move to save about $13.7 million in 1993 and about $30 million annually beginning in 1994. This testimony provides a limited price comparison of printing and duplicating jobs completed in DOD facilities, as compared with the expected price for the same work commercially procured through the Government Printing Office. GAO also discusses (1) DOD's progress in consolidating its printing operations, (2) DOD's adherence to congressional direction concerning its printing and duplicating operations, and (3) DOD acquisition of printing services under its Joint Computer-Aided Acquisition and Logistics Support Program.
