Select Correct eBuy Routing Process for Quick Processing of Your Cleaning Services Requirements

Effective June 22, 2006, the purchasing and management of cleaning services contracts are handled by the Western Services Category Management Center (WSCMC) offices in Chicago, IL, and San Francisco, CA.

To ensure new requirement purchases and renewals of existing contracts are processed expeditiously, please remember to correctly route your eBuy requisition to the WSCMC by selecting "Route Req to Supply Mgt" and then "Western Services CMC-Chicago/San Francisco" from the routing drop-down menu. If correctly followed, the above process will help to prevent the electronic routing of your eBuy requisition to CMCs that do not handle cleaning services requirements and avoid delays in processing your request.

Further, to assist field maintenance personnel with answers to the most commonly asked questions concerning the purchase of cleaning services, we have developed a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) and answers, which can be found online at: http://blue.usps.gov/purchase/_doc/ser_cleaning_services_faq.doc.

INSTALLATION HEADS/MAOS

Semiannual Review of Capital Records

Handbook AS-701, Material Management, Section 541.28, Internal Reviews, contains procedures for conducting a semiannual review of capital records. The procedures require either the installation head or material accountability officer (MAO) to conduct a semiannual internal review and an 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 they are being maintained in accordance with procedures outlined in Handbook AS-701, Chapter 5, Asset Accountability.

• Review the past six property changes for the month to ensure they have been properly verified.
