COVID-19 update: Printwell designated “mission critical” by federal agencies

Hello Friends,

Printwell has been designated by two federal government agencies as a mission critical vendor during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and national emergency declaration of the President of the United States.

A letter dated April 13 and signed by Hugh Nathanial Halpern, Director of the US Government Publishing Office (GPO) states, “Federal agencies are relying on Printwell Acquisitions to produce mission critical materials,” and “It is vital to the continuity of operations of the Federal government that certain mission critical printing continue uninterrupted.”

Furthermore, Halpern’s letter states, “Pursuant to my authority under Federal law, 44 U.S.C. § 301, I hereby authorize Printwell Acquisitions to continue its operations to the extent necessary to fulfill its contractual obligations to the Federal government.”

A second letter dated April 9 and signed by Jared X. Goodwin, Chief of the Document Management Division of the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) states that the continued support of Printwell is “critical to USCIS’ mission.”
