TO: Printing and Publishing Officials of the Federal Government
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 1998 Open Requisitions
This is to request early submission of your open requisitions. Your prompt action will help us give you timely feedback of necessary information.
Each year, we must expend much time and effort to ensure completeness and accuracy of the orders received. Principal among items of information which we find incorrect or missing are:
- Discrepancies between quantities ordered and quantity totals shown on distribution lists, which may result in over- or underproduction.
- Incomplete or erroneous addresses on distribution lists, which may cause loss or misdelivery of publications.
Additionally, the following information must appear on your requisition:
- Citation of the previous year's requisition number and jacket number, which we use to cross-check that all your requirements are in. If your requisition is for a new requirement, please indicate so on your requisition.
- Entry of your Billing Address Code (BAC), which is necessary to properly identify each order.
Open requisitions for Fiscal Year 1998 should be submitted (through each agency's Washington, DC, headquarters office) to this Office no later than June 13, 1997. Open requisitions and riders for Regional programs should be sent directly to the appropriate Region, not to the Central Office. In addition, consolidation to one distribution location per agency address in lieu of multiple room addresses would be greatly appreciated. It should be noted that open requisition numbers for Fiscal Year 1998 should begin with the prefix 8; e.g., 8-00001.

Please note, in recent years many requisitions have not been received until several months after our requested due date (June 13, 1997, for this year). Therefore, in order to provide timely information to customers who submit their requirements on time, requisitions received after September 1, 1997, will not be processed until all timely placed orders are processed (which could be after October 1, 1997).
You should submit requirements for items such as continuance of commercial term contracts, current work programs, dated periodicals, Operating Manuals maintenance material, Congressional material, mailings by the Superintendent of Documents (SuDocs), orders for Paper and Materials Control Section, and standing riders (not one-time riders) for materials ordered by other agencies on a continuing basis. (See the following listing of materials for which this Office accepts open requisitions.)
Inquiries concerning ordering of Congressional materials may be directed to Ms. Joyce Ashford, 202-512-0224, Congressional Printing Management Division. Any other inquiries concerning this letter may be directed to Ms. Carolyn Barger, 202-512-0296, or Ms. Hazel Robinson, 202-512-1164, Departmental Account Representative Division.
Sincerely,
ROBERT G. COX
Superintendent,
Departmental Account Representative Division

*NOTE: Please specify on each SF-1 submitted for the Operating Manuals the method of distribution. The three available choices are:
1. Bulk: Ordering agencies can specify a single address and request that all copies be shipped to that address. It is then the agency's responsibility to distribute the copies to internal offices.
2. Direct Delivery/Small Parcel Carrier: Ordering agencies can have issuances sent directly from the printer to the furnished destination by use of a small parcel carrier.
3. Direct Delivery/US Postal Service: The printer will use 4th Class Mail to make distribution.
Small Parcel Carrier (Method #2) is automatically used unless otherwise specified. Methods of distribution should not be mixed because of the complexity of the distribution. The large magnitude of requisitions received will cause billing to be done only once, at the end of the fiscal year. Any changes in quantity are greatly discouraged. Address changes and/or corrections are highly encouraged throughout the year.
