What can the Contract Delivery Services Office do for you?
The Postal Service purchases a variety of products and services to keep our operations running. The majority of these purchases are centrally managed through the Supply Management organization’s five portfolio teams: Facilities, Mail Equipment, Services, Supplies, and Transportation. Lower-dollar value buys are handled by local Post Offices and through other activities.
In order to keep the universal mail service at cost-effective and competitive prices, USPS does business with large and small suppliers that provide performance excellence. In promoting and developing a diverse supplier base, USPS continues to ensure that no supplier is excluded from opportunities or given preference to compete based on race, color, religion, gender, age, or national origin.
The Postal Service’s supply chain philosophy is built on the following four guiding principles:
- We make our requirements known to the marketplace.
- We tell suppliers how we will evaluate proposals.
- We award contracts based on best value.
- We promote economic development in the community we serve by providing access to small, minority owned, and woman-owned businesses.
