STAMP ANNOUNCEMENT 02-27
The Postal Service will issue a 37-cent Andy Warhol
commemorative stamp (Item 453100) in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 on August 9, 2002, in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The stamp, designed by Richard
Sheaff, Scottsdale, Arizona, will go on sale nationwide on
August 10, 2002. The pane may be split, and the stamps
may be sold individually.
The Postal Service continues its celebration of the fine
arts by paying tribute to Andy Warhol, a leading figure in the
pop art movement and one of the most influential artists of
his time. Warhol's serial images of celebrities, such as Marilyn Monroe, and everyday objects, such as Campbell's
soup cans, are perhaps his best known works. Warhol's
paintings achieved instant notoriety in 1962 with the solo
exhibition of the now famous Campbell's Soup Cans paintings at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles. His influence
continues in art and film, as well as in a wide range of other
creative endeavors throughout contemporary popular
culture. The stamp art features Andy Warhol's Self-Portrait,
1964.

The Postal Service will issue four 37-cent Teddy Bears
stamps (Item 453500) in a pressure-sensitive adhesive
(PSA) pane of 20, on August 15, 2002, in Atlantic City, New
Jersey. The stamps, designed by Margaret Bauer,
Washington, DC, will go on sale nationwide on August 16,
2002. The pane may be split, and the stamps may be sold
individually.
All four teddy bears featured on this pane of 20 stamps
were manufactured in the United States. The Ideal bear
dates from circa 1905, the Bruin bear from circa 1907, and
the Gund bear from circa 1948. The unlabeled stick bear
dates from the 1920s and is characterized by short arms,
thin legs, and an upright posture. Teddy bears remain enormously popular today and are widely viewed as symbols of
security and comfort. Teddy bears are often used by police
officers and hospital staff to calm children in traumatic situations. The text on each stamp reads, "Teddy Bears USA."
Customers have 30 days to obtain the first day of issue
postmark by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their
local Post Office, by telephone at 800-STAMP-24, and at
the Postal Store Web site at www.usps.com. They should
affix the stamps to envelopes of their choice, address
the envelopes (to themselves or others), and place them in

STAMP ANNOUNCEMENT 02-30
The Postal Service will issue 37-cent Ogden Nash commemorative stamp (Item 452400) in a pressure-sensitive
adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 on August 19, 2002, in Baltimore, Maryland. The stamp, designed by Carl T. Herrman,
Carlsbad, California, and illustrated by Michael J. Deas,
New Orleans, Louisiana, goes on sale nationwide August
20, 2002. The pane may be split, and the stamps may be
sold individually.
With this issuance, the Postal Service honors poet
Ogden Nash on the centennial of his birth. A gentle satirist,
Nash poked fun at human foibles without cynicism. He
wrote on many subjects, but all of his poetry expressed his
wry wit and demonstrated playfulness with the English language. He invented words and used puns, creative misspellings, irregular line lengths, and unexpected rhymes to
make his verse humorous and memorable. Because of his
unique style, many consider Ogden Nash to be one of the
most accomplished American writers of light verse in the
20th century. This stamp is the 18th stamp in the Literary
Art series.
Customers have 30 days to obtain the first day of issue
postmark by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their
local Post Office, by telephone at 800-STAMP-24, and at
the Postal Store Web site at www.usps.com. They should

UPDATED ANNOUNCEMENT 02-D
"2002 Stamps and Postal Stationery" (Announcement
02-D, July 2002), which appears on page 33, is intended to
replace the quarterly announcement of the same name,
previously printed and sent to customers on request
through Stamp Fulfillment Services in Kansas City. The announcement is a listing of stamps and postal stationery
items scheduled for issuance during calendar year 2002.
Post Offices may wish to post this schedule on their bulletin
boards.
Customers may also be directed to access the Postal
Bulletin through the Postal Service Web site at
www.usps.com, then by clicking on Info, and then Postal
Periodicals and Publications.
This announcement will be updated every 2 to 3 months,
as changes warrant.
Customers may purchase new stamps or postal stationery items at their Post Office, from the USA Philatelic catalog, by calling 1 800 STAMP-24, or online at www.usps.com
by clicking on Buy Stamps & More. Then they should prepare their own covers by affixing new stamps to the upper
right corner of envelopes or postcards of their choice, and
address those envelopes, postcards, or postal stationery
items to themselves or others. (Postage must equal the
current First-Class Mail rate.) For sturdiness, include a card
of postcard thickness in each cover (envelopes only) submitted, and tuck in the flap. Place the cover in a larger envelope addressed to: NAME OF ISSUE, POSTMASTER,
CITY, STATE, and ZIP CODE (followed by -9991). Covers
submitted for first day of issue cancellations may include
additional uncancelled stamps only if the uncancelled
stamps were issued before the first day of issue of the new
stamps or postal stationery items. All orders must be postmarked on or before the deadline indicated in the "2002
Stamps and Postal Stationery" announcement that follows.
The US Postal Service offers uncacheted
first day covers for new stamp issues and postal stationery items postmarked
with the official first day of issue cancellation. Each item has its own catalog
number in USA Philatelic, issued quarterly. Customers may request a free
catalog by phoning 800-STAMP-24, by sending an e-mail to sfs@email.usps.gov,
or by writing to:

NOTICE
Many of our delivery unit employees are marking
through the city, state, and ZIP Code when returning undeliverable mail. This causes a significant problem for our
customers, particularly our small-business mailers, who
use this information to correct their mailing lists.
Never mark through or cover the old address. However,
mark through old delivery barcodes to prevent "loop" mail.

Delivery and Retail, 7-11-02
Real People. Real Success. The Postal Service's latest in-store advertising campaign, "Real People.
Real Success," puts successful small-business owners in the spotlight.
The stories conveyed in the ads "give other business owners concrete
examples of how postal services can help them make their businesses
thrive," says Chief Marketing Officer Anita Bizzotto.
The first phase of the campaign, which began June 15 and runs through
August 9, features business owners from various fields of work including
an interior designer, a diamond wholesaler, and the president of an
executive search firm. In the ads, business owners are featured with a
USPS product/service that has best served their business' success.
A second phase of the campaign, which runs from August 10 to October
18, will feature a contest in which small-business owners share their
stories of how a USPS product or service helped their business. Contest
winners will be featured in "Real People. Real Success" in-store
advertising campaigns during 2003.

This month's edition has information about the retail
calendar, Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation
stamp, top performing retail units, and the question of
the month.
The $15 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation
stamp for the 2002-2003 season is on sale at Post
Offices nationwide July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2003.
The stamp will be issued in two formats - the traditional
gummed pane of 20 stamps and a self-adhesive single
stamp. Postmasters should order sufficient quantity to
meet the expected demand from stamp collectors,
conservationists, and hunters.
Congratulations to the 33 offices selected as winners
of the FY 2001 Retail Awards and Recognition Program.
Districts nominated the offices as top performers in
increased walk-in revenue. Revenue performance was
analyzed to determine what contributed to their success.
Some of their stories are very inspirational and will be
shared at a later date. However, most attributed their
success to good old-fashioned customer service. They
asked the questions, offered an additional item,
remembered to be pleasant, and thanked their
customers. The winners are:

NOTICE
The Postal Service periodically publishes in the Postal
Bulletin the interest rate payable on a claim decided in a
contractor's favor, under the Contract Disputes Act of 1978.
This rate also applies for late payments to contractors under the Prompt Payment Act, as amended.
The interest rate effective for the 6-month period beginning July 1, 2002, and ending December 31, 2002, is 5.25
percent.
- Supply Management Infrastructure,
Supply Management, 7-11-02
ALL EMPLOYEES
Purchasing and Materials has been reorganized into a
new Supply Management organization. The new organizational design will employ supply chain management business practices to better support the Postal Service's
business objectives. Supply Management consists of five
Portfolios made up of category management centers
(CMCs) and four purchasing service centers, which report
to the Services Portfolio; an Operations organization focused on strategic and transactional supply matters; and
several strategic support organizations. The following five
Portfolios will perform the buying and supplying functions
for most Postal Service requirements:
• Services
• Supplies
• Mail Equipment
• Facilities
• Transportation
While this restructuring will affect the processing of purchase requisitions for a variety of goods and services, it
does not affect the following:
• Purchase requests for design and construction contracts valued at less than $10 million. Continue to
send those requests to the applicable district administrative support office, facilities services office, or
Facilities, Headquarters.
• Acquisitions of real estate. Continue to send requests
to acquire real estate to the applicable facilities services office or Facilities, Headquarters.
• Purchase requests for mail transportation highway
contracts. Continue to send those requests to the applicable distribution network office.
• Local buying requests. Policies and procedures applicable to local buys are contained in Chapter 7 of
the Administrative Support Manual and in Handbook
AS-709, Credit Card Policies and Procedures for
Local Buying. Local buys made through eBuy and
orders from the Material Distribution Center are not
affected by this restructuring.
Clients who have established relationships with purchasing organizations but are unsure where to submit purchase requests within Supply Management may submit
them to those organizations with which they have worked in
the past. If the Portfolio or CMC is not responsible for the
goods or services being purchased, the request will be forwarded to the responsible Portfolio. Clients will be notified
of both the forwarding to and receipt by the responsible
Portfolio.
Clients may also contact Supply Management employees with whom they have worked in the past for advice
before submitting purchase requests. If a purchasing service center receives a purchase request for a good or service that is purchased or supplied on a nationwide basis, it
will forward the request to the responsible Portfolio. Clients
will be notified of both the forwarding to and receipt by the
responsible Portfolio.
For more information, please see Management Instruction PM-1.1.1-2002-4, Submitting Requests to Supply
Management, which will be available soon on the Postal
Service PolicyNet Web site at blue.usps.gov/cpim; click on
MIs.
