This report demonstrates the Postal Service’s continued efforts to promote competition through the execution of numerous strategies, programs, and tools. Through these efforts, we are starting to see mindset changes in the organization where contracts that were historically awarded noncompetitively, are now being reviewed to determine if the requirements can be unbundled or changed, and market research is being updated to identify other potential suppliers in the marketplace that can satisfy the requirements.
While not all requirements are best suited for competition, the CA review of the requirements to promote competition is prompting thorough evaluation. One contributing element of this progress is our commitment to supplier outreach, which is the cornerstone of our commitment to supplier diversity and is the primary vehicle to increase the pool of suppliers for the Postal Service. Furthermore, the organized Commodity Sourcing Strategy Planning (CSSP) process and quarterly review of contracts expiring, which are executive-level activities, provide a platform to promote competition. The Postal Service is committed to promoting competition and achieving best value solutions.
The United States Postal Service FY2014 Competition Report was prepared by Donna L. Schoenbeck, Competition Advocate.
