NOTICE
Supplying Principles and Practices to Replace Interim Internal Purchasing Guidelines
Effective May 1, a new set of Supplying Principles and
Practices (SPs and Ps) will replace the Postal Service's
Interim Internal Purchasing Guidelines (IIPG) for all contracts except those for design and construction. The SPs
and Ps will be available at www.usps.com/purchasing/purchasingpubs/pubsmenu.htm, and will be accompanied
by the solicitation provisions and contract clauses. Until further notice, follow current policies and procedures regarding the purchase of design and construction.
Neither the SPs and Ps nor the IIPG are regulations of
the Postal ServiceTM. The Postal Service regulations governing the acquisition of goods and services are contained
in Title 39, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 601. The SPs
and Ps are intended for internal use only to assist the
Postal Service in obtaining best value and efficiently conducting its supply chain functions. The SPs and Ps are
advisory and illustrative of approaches that may be generally used by Postal Service employees. They are intended
to provide flexibility and to be used with discretion when
applied to specific business situations.
