How Printing and Binding Deposit Accounts Work

If you are a Federal printing and binding customer, GPO now offers you a new payment option that allows you to maintain control of funds at the appropriation level and virtually eliminate invoices from GPO. The process is simple and easy to use.

• Determine the estimated cost of printing you expect to order during a period of time, e.g., month, quarter, or year.
• Call or write GPO to establish your deposit account. GPO will assign a deposit account number. This account number will serve as your BAC number on your SF-1s submitted for printing and binding orders towards this account.
• Deposit funds into your account. You may use Treasury's IPAC system.
• Monitor transactions daily on your Web site.
• Replenish funds as necessary to maintain your desired account balance.
• GPO does your bookkeeping for you! At the end of each month, you will receive an account statement, which shows deposits and itemized charges for all completed printing orders.
