WHAT'S IN STORE
So long Shrek Is your Post OfficeTM ogre-less? The new Summer/Fall drive period began July 1, which means the old signs of the Spring drive period - all those Shrek-related images - should be off your walls and just a memory by now. It's time for Summer/Fall drive period point-of-purchase (POP) elements. Put them up and keep them up through Oct. 31! Follow the planogram in your POP kit for proper placement.
Among the new elements for Summer/Fall are two signs that team up to promote Priority Mail® bundles. Be sure to hang them together so customers can see all four Priority Mail bundles lined up in a row. One sign includes information about Priority Mail bundled three ways: with Delivery ConfirmationTM service, with insurance, and with both insurance and Delivery Confirmation service. A separate sign features a fourth bundle: Priority Mail with Signature ConfirmationTM service. This one is aimed particularly at small-business owners, as are many of the other POP elements. This is a small-business drive period.
Also featured in the Summer/Fall POP is an element teaming the Postal ServiceTM with eBay. This sign encourages customers to save on business supplies and products by going to usps.com/ebay for the "Deal of the Week."
Show them your signs - and watch your sales grow!
Check the expiration date Stay in sync! It's important to keep your POP current so our customers get the same Postal Service retail message from coast to coast. An old sign left over from a long forgotten POP campaign puts you out of sync with everyone else. When you remove the signs promptly, you stay in sync with every other Post Office - and our customers get one, consistent message about our available products and services no matter which Post Office they visit.
Postmasters, station managers, and branch managers received a
postcard reminding them of the importance of keeping POP current.
Remember: Check the expiration date! Look for the up/down
arrows at the bottom right corner of every POP sign. It tells you
when to put up the sign - and when to take it down.
When in doubt, just follow the arrows!
New holiday closing sign A new holiday closing sign is coming to replace the one your office
got in its Summer/Fall POP kit. The original cling sign, which was
blue, had the wrong day of the week listed for Veterans Day. The
new sign, which is red, reflects the correct information: "Thursday,
November 11: Veterans Day."
Keep the original sign displayed until you receive your new one.
Post Offices also will receive a writing table correction sticker.
Instructions will be included in the packet. Expect the corrected
POP elements to arrive at all retail units around July 12.
POP culture Want to brush up on all things POP - or continuity? Be sure
to visit the Advertising Web site at http://blue.usps.gov/advertising
to learn more about the Summer/Fall POP and the continuity
menuboards - and why they are different but equally important to
our sales efforts.
Also, don't forget to check out MessageMaker 2, which provides
field advertising elements. Many of the Direct Mail pieces, such as
postcards, clings, and signs, can be customized with information
specific to your Post Office.
Expedited vs. express When it comes to passport processing, "expedited" and "express"
don't mean the same thing. The Department of State charges a $60
fee, in addition to the regular passport fee, for the "expedited"
processing of these important documents. Many customers assume
this "expedited" processing includes Express Mail® service - but it
doesn't. The fee only insures that the State Department will
expedite the processing of the customer's passport application so
that it's completed within 3 business days from the time the agency
receives it.
In most cases, the expeditiously handled passports are mailed back
to the customer via First-Class Mail® service. Be sure to let your
customers know that the extra fee they are paying for expedited
processing refers strictly to how the State Department handles their
application. Encourage them to add Express Mail service to make
the return of their passports even that much quicker - but, of
course, they'll have to pay the additional Express Mail service fee.
Phone cards and flags Independence Day celebrations may be over but our "Salute to
America" is still going strong. Please remind customers that when
they buy any two phone cards - including both FIRSTCLASS
PHONECARDS® and the new global cards that are available in
select Post Offices - they can send away for a free indoor/outdoor
American flag.
Important: Our FIRSTCLASS PHONECARDS are not activated
until a customer purchases them. Therefore, the fear of theft should
not prevent you from displaying these cards in your lobbies for
customers to see. If theft does occur, just call 800-711-0428 to order
more. It's important that customers have access to our
FIRSTCLASS PHONECARDS and the new global cards. The cards
should be displayed in their own merchandisers only. If you don't
have a merchandiser, hang them on your slat wall.
Cobranded with eBay eBay plans to offer new Postal Service and eBay cobranded
shipping supplies later this month. The newly designed Priority Mail
boxes will come in three sizes. There's cobranded tape, too. With
this new service, cobranded Priority Mail boxes can be ordered for
delivery directly to an eBay member's . The new shipping
materials can be ordered exclusively through eBay's Web site.

INSTALLATION HEADS/MAOS
Semiannual Review of Capital Records
The procedures for conducting a semiannual review of
capital records are in Handbook AS-701, Material Management, Section 541.28, Internal Reviews. The policy requires either the installation head or material accountability
officer (MAO) to conduct a semiannual internal review and
evaluation of the status of property records and files.
If you are an installation head or MAO, you must complete the review and evaluation process by following these
steps:
• Meet with delegated MAO assistants (if you have
them) and discuss the material accountability background of the installation.
• Review the local standard operating procedures.
• Randomly select and inventory 10 percent of capital
items and 10 percent of sensitive items.
• Review files and records to verify that those required
by Handbook AS-701, Chapter 5, Asset Accountability, are being maintained.
• Review the past six property changes for the month
to ensure that they have been properly verified.

Handbook F-15, Travel and Relocation, requires Postal
ServiceTM employees to use a designated travel agency
when booking official air travel. Omega World Travel is the
Postal Service's current travel agency under this requirements contract. The contract ensures standardization of air
travel, reporting, and safety issues for Postal Service employees. The contract also ensures compliance under the
General Service Administration's (GSA) Airline City Pair
Program, which provides travelers the benefit and flexibility
of government fares. The program can be reviewed at
www.gsa.gov; click on Services, then Travel, and then City
Pair Program. The program offers many features that allow
government employees flexibility in planning official traveI,
including:
• One-way fare pricing that allows agencies to plan
multiple destinations.
• No advance purchase requirement.
• No minimum or maximum stay requirement.
• Refundable tickets.
• No charge for cancellations or changes.
• Last seat availability.
The Airline City Pair Program is awarded each fiscal
year and remains in place for the entire year. You can
review carriers and pricing for any market at
http://apps.fss.gsa.gov/citypairs/search/. The negotiated
fare for the government under the Airline City Pair Program
is not necessarily the least expensive fare in a market, but
comes with the advantages listed above. The current pricing is effective until September 30, 2004.
Travelers and agents will not be able to obtain government fares for travel scheduled after October 1, 2004 (either via Trip Manager or through Omega World Travel),
while the GSA negotiates contracts for FY 2005. Please
inform travelers and agents not to book travel after October
1, 2004, until the GSA announces the awards and loads the
rates into the reservation systems. The GSA will likely announce the award the first week of September.

New Contract for Integrated Pest Management Services
On July 21, 2004, a new contract for integrated pest
management (IPM) services becomes effective. On April
21, 2004, the Postal ServiceTM awarded a national contract
to Ecolab, Inc. (contract number 2CESER-04-Q-4463) for
purchasing integrated pest management (IPM) services.
Ecolab, Inc., is the exclusive source for all IPM services.
IPM services include identifying pest infestations, controlling those infestations with short-term solutions (including
the use of pesticides), and reducing or eliminating the
causes of infestations with long-term solutions, such as
structural modifications. You can order IPM services with a
credit card until the contract is available on eBuy (some
time before the end of FY 2004). We will publish an article
in a future issue of the Postal Bulletin letting you know
when the contract is available on eBuy.
The supplier will provide IPM services to Postal Service
facilities in the 48 contiguous United States, Alaska,
Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, when the contract becomes effective on July 21, 2004. We will provide
detailed ordering instructions in a future Material Logistics
Bulletin.
If you need IPM services before the contract's effective date, you can get them immediately from Ecolab,
Inc., by placing an "open market" order at the contract
price. You may use Ecolab, Inc.'s, toll-free telephone
number (877-ECOPOST) or e-mail address (uspspest@
ecolab.com) to place orders until eBuy ordering is operational. You will have to pay for open market orders with a
credit card until the contract is effective.
If your facility has an existing contract that expires on or
before October 1, 2004, you must let that contract proceed
through its scheduled ending date. If your existing contract
expires after October 1, 2004, you must exercise the standard 60-to-90 day termination option and contact Ecolab,
Inc., to establish new service.
You may contact the following commodity manager if
you have questions concerning requirements:

Postal Service Partnerships With Aerial Personnel Lift Suppliers
Background
The Postal ServiceTM formed strategic partnerships with
two aerial personnel lift suppliers: Lift-A-Loft Corporation
and JLG Industries, Inc. Both partnerships - formed in
March 2004 - are potential 10-year contracts that will
meet the Postal Service's present and future requirements
for aerial lift technology. These partnerships will maximize
parts interchangeability and increase standardization opportunities every time we purchase their equipment.
The aerial platform lift supply-chain initiative includes
the following four categories of aerial lift equipment:
• Scissors platform lifts are commonly used in a variety
of applications and normally can accommodate two
workers with minimal horizontal reach.
• Boom/articulated boom lifts have increased horizontal reach.
• Narrow aisle/extended reach lifts have increased
horizontal reach and a narrow aisle design.
• Vertical mast lifts are economical and can accommodate one worker with minimal horizontal reach.
Suppliers
Lift-A-Loft Corporation
The Lift-A-Loft Corporation contract (Contract No. 1CIEQU-04-Q-2900) covers the narrow aisle/extended reach lift
category. The contract provides an average 15 percent
savings over previously paid equipment pricing and a 5 percent discount on original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
parts. The contract also requires that Postal Service ordering officials purchase all of their narrow aisle/extended
reach lifts from Lift-A-Loft Corporation.
JLG Industries, Inc.
The JLG Industries, Inc., contract (Contract No. 1CIEQU-04-Q-2869) covers the scissors platform, boom/articulated boom, and vertical mast lifts categories. This contract
provides an average 27 percent savings over previously
paid equipment pricing and a 35 percent discount on OEM
parts. The contract also requires that all Postal Service ordering officials purchase all of their scissors, boom, and
vertical mast lifts from JLG Industries, Inc.
