3-6.8 Plan for Contract Management

Planning for contract management entails determining how the requirements, terms, and conditions of a contract are addressed and facilitates the activities associated with eventual transactions between suppliers and the Postal Service.

Planning for contract management will confirm the previously planned activities associated with the administration of a contract and will provide an outline that helps the client, CO, and item manager to monitor the delivery and receipt of all purchased products and/or services. The essential components and personnel that ensure best value and facilitate contract management are:

  • Current contract.
  • Cost and price control.
  • Resource management.
  • CORs.
  • Investment recovery plan.
