System Design Documents
GPO is making portions of the System Design Document (SDD) publicly available for reference and reuse. These documents are provided for informational purposes only and do not obligate the GPO in any way. GPO reserves the right to make changes to these documents as program needs demand. Updates to the SDD will be released at the discretion of GPO, as volumes are added or revised.
