Top 50 GPO Suppliers List for 1st Quarter 2009 - Why the Decrease?

According to Government Print Management the number of print suppliers obtaining GPO (Government Printing Office)work during the first quarter of 2009,(January through March) was 1112 compared to 1263 during the fourth quarter of 2008, a 12% drop.

The value of the work awarded to the top 50 suppliers during the first quarter of 2009 was $49,223,165 compared to $105,293,322 for the fourth quarter of 2008, a 53% drop. During all of 2008, approximately 1817 suppliers won GPO print work valued at $421,886,169 million.

I'd be curious as to how much of the drop in both suppliers and revenue was a result of on-demand marketing solutions versus an actual decrease in requirements that would have otherwise used print as their vehicle of choice. Your thoughts?
