2-21.9 Tracking Progress

The Postal Service strives for continuous improvement by performing annual goal setting for prime contracts with SMWOB and semi-annual monitoring of all effort-based indicators and yearend results. The Postal Service will periodically reposition supply strategies to adopt leading practices identified in the purchasing process.

All suppliers are classified to identify prime and subcontracting (second-tier) spend within each socioeconomic category. The Postal Service will continue to collect and report results through the tracking of:

  • Total number of transactions (contract award and modifications).
  • Total dollar amount of obligated transactions.
  • Number of transactions with SMWOBs.
  • Prime supplier SMWOBs spend.
  • Subcontracting (second-tier) spend with SMWOBs.
  • Total credit card expenditures.
  • Number and value of credit card expenditures with SMWOBs.
