The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) is making available all MARC bibliographic records (1,051,805 records) in the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP) as of February 2024. The CGP is the U.S. Government Publishing Office's (GPO) finding tool for electronic and print publications from the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of the U.S. Federal Government. These publications comprise the National Bibliography of U.S. Government Publications.
These files and the monthly CGP files in the CGP MARC Records collection essentially represent the entire CGP. GPO may periodically refresh the files in the All_CGP_Records collection with a new snapshot of the whole CGP.
The records are in MARC XML. The total size of the zipped files is 379 MB. Each of the 28 files in the repository holds approximately 40,000 records.

These same records are also available in UTF-8 format from the cataloging-records-all-cgp-utf8 repository.
