This past year, more than 1,770 print suppliers obtained at least one GPO job. However, the majority of the $305 million in work went to several hundred printers. On average, jobs received one to four bidders when bidding time was three to 24 hours; three to six bidders when bidding time was 48 hours; and five to 15 bidders when 72 hours or more was allowed in the bidding process.
