New Postal Products Unlimited CatalogThe new Postal Products Unlimited catalog was updated in eBuy this past June. The catalog is printed exclusively for the Postal ServiceTM and is similar to the previous catalog with a Topeka direct vendor delivery and an eBuy section. The catalog has a newly approved carrier clothing section where carriers can chose their clothing allowance items. It has been more than 2 1/2 years since the last catalog was printed and there are quite a few changes. Prices are no longer printed in the catalog. This is to encourage users to make their purchases through eBuy. Those without access to eBuy can call 800-229-4500 and speak with a Postal Products Unlimited Customer Service representative who will provide pricing as well as send out a supplemental price list for future orders. You can also place an order at www.postalproducts.com. Also, the clothing and apparel section contains trademark-approved apparel for recognition and/or awards. Postal Service employees can purchase these products with their clothing allowance. Finally, some new items have been added to the catalog based on suggestions made by employees aimed at improving their work areas or conditions. The Delivery and Industrial Equipment and Telecommunications Category Management Center, located in Greensboro, North Carolina, manages the contract for the "Postal Unique Supplies and Equipment" (1CDSEQ-04-P-7537). The contact is Dan Jackson, C.P.M., purchasing and supply management specialist, 336-665-2867. — SCM Strategies, |
National Contract Awarded for Postal Service Cabinet-Style LocksThe Delivery Equipment Category Team has awarded a national, long-term requirements contract for cabinet-type locks to CompX Security Products (formerly National Cabinet Lock). This contract includes locks used in lobby Post OfficeTM boxes (PSINs O306A1&A2, O306B&D, O308), and collection box units/neighborhood delivery and collection box units (CBUs/NDCBUs) (PSINs O910A&B, O913A-K), along with cash and stamp boxes and drawers (PSINs O911M, O933L). Based on a national increase in the volume of mail attacks, a new design has been implemented for PSINs O910A&B to provide for increased security for customer compartments on CBUs and NDCBUs. Under this contract, CompX will provide all Postal ServiceTM cabinet-type locks, and orders must be placed through the Topeka Material Distribution Center. Direct any questions to Pam Scharffbillig, Delivery Equipment Category Team, Greensboro, North Carolina, 336-665-2859. — Supply Management, |
