A previous CPU in Dededo closed in April 2021. Previous attempts to identify a Dededo CPU operator have been unsuccessful.

The contractor’s requirements will include:

• Providing postal retail operations in a space no less than 800 square feet, to include selling stamps, affixing postage to packages, and accepting mail for dispatch during posted retail hours of operation
• Distribution of mail to Post Office Boxes
