The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) is soliciting quotations to produce a printed “MOVE! Food & Physical Activity Log” for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Vendors must quote the quantity of copies they can deliver and provide a per‑1,000‑copy cost, with the award based on the largest quantity offered under a fixed‑price ceiling of $46,285. The log is 72 pages plus a wrap‑around cover, printed in CMYK with a clear gloss or aqueous coating, saddle‑stitched, and must meet GPO Quality Level III. Production may be offset or digital, but must be consistent throughout the job.
