1. Overview

   This chapter provides policy for state agency use of printing and reproduction services. The Department of General Services’ (DGS) Office of State Publishing (OSP) provides printing and reproduction services for California state agencies, the California State University, the University of California, the California State Legislature, the Governor’s Office, and other public agencies.

2. Use of OSP Services

   Pursuant to Government Code Section 14850, state agencies must procure printing services through the Office of State Publishing (OSP), unless OSP authorizes the agency to procure printing services from a state agency printing operation authorized under SAM Section 2875 (“in-plant”), a printing operation enabled under Penal Code Section 2807, or a private sector printer (see SAM Section 2811 for the exemption process).

   For a full list of OSP products and services, see SAM Section 2820.
