GPO in the US context stands for the Government Publishing Office (formerly Government Printing Office) — the federal agency responsible for producing and distributing US government documents, publications, and official records. In the UK context it historically stood for the General Post Office — the government agency that ran postal and telecommunications services until its privatisation. The initialism is used in both official and casual reference to these institutions; context determines which is meant.
