Functional Realignment of Chicago, Memphis, San Francisco, and Windsor
Purchasing Service Centers
On January 17, 2006, the Chicago, Memphis, San Francisco, and Windsor Purchasing Service Centers (PSCs) transitioned into two services Category Management Centers (CMCs). This transition allows functional alignment within Supply
Management. The newly formed CMCs consist of two offices and will operate from four locations.
The realignment is as follows:
|
Old Office Name
|
New Office Name
|
Purchasing Service Center - Memphis, TN
Purchasing Service Center - Windsor, CT
|
Eastern Services Category Management Center (ESCMC) -
Memphis, TN and Windsor, CT
|
Purchasing Service Center - Chicago, IL
Purchasing Service Center - San Francisco, CA
|
Western Services Category Management Center (WSCMC) -
Chicago, IL andSan Francisco, CA
|
This realignment allows the newly formed CMCs to apply supply chain management techniques in order to strategically
manage and source commodities formerly administered by the four PSCs. The result is the consolidation of contracts and
suppliers, the ability to leverage spending, and the reduction in overall costs for the Postal ServiceTM. The CMCs will continue
to provide tactical one-time purchases and customer support for the areas they previously serviced. The contract categories
assigned to the two new CMCs are as follows:

and Windsor, CT
