243 Submitting the Application

The following guidelines apply:

• If the Postal Service initiates the process for a statewide agreement, the application is submitted to the SLA.
• If the SLA initiates the process for a statewide agreement, the application is submitted to Corporate Personnel Management (CPM), Postal Service Headquarters (HQ).
• The district Human Resources (HR) manager (or designee) negotiates with SLA representatives on applications for statewide agreements.
• CPM HQ signs the statewide agreement.

Note: In certain circumstances, the Postal Service may issue an individual site permit to an SLA under a statewide agreement; the SLA then may issue a license to a qualifying blind vendor.
