Under simplified purchasing, offerors who competed but were not awarded contract(s) (“unsuccessful offerors”) must be sent written notification within three days of contract award. The notification must state that the offeror was not awarded the contract and must provide the name and mailing address of the successful offeror as well as the total contract price. Note: Unit prices within contracts are considered information of a commercial nature which, pursuant to Postal Service Freedom of Information (FOIA) decisions, should not be released.
