3-7.1 Removal of Surplus

The removal of surplus materials comprises any activities that remove any supplies that are:

  • Discontinued.
  • Outdated.
  • Inoperable.
  • Excess inventory.

The responsibility of removing supplies is at the discretion of the Postal Service. This is a task that can be assigned to internal personnel or contracted out to a third party. The entire purchase/SCM team is involved in this process and will offer any input/advice when needed to determine which supplies are not profitable for the Postal Service so they can be removed accordingly.
