9-6. DLA Document Services
a. GPC purchases from DLA Document Services are considered IGT and are subject to the IGT payment limit of $10,000. Army activities will use the GPC as a payment method to procure printing and high-speed, high-volume duplicating products and services from DLA Document Services in accordance with DoDI 5330.03, Defense Logistics Agency Document Services. If transactions do not meet the DLA Document Services criteria, then activities will use other funding vehicles (e.g., DD Form 448, MIPR, DD Form 282, DoD Printing Requisition/Order).
b. CHs must procure all printing requirements that cannot be produced in-house using their respective organizational printers from Army Printing Division (APD) or the local DLA Document Services. Locations of local DLA Document Services offices are available here: DLA Document Services offices. For CHs within the Washington DC metropolitan area, additional mandatory printing requirements are located here: https://armypubs.army.mil/Printing/printing.aspx.
