To move the mail, we buy a large variety of goods and services. USPS groups purchases into the following five portfolios to ensure that the Postal Service obtains products and services required for operational needs in a timely manner and at the best value:
- Facilities Portfolio. Facilities manages all business aspects of purchasing and supply management processes for all facility needs, including construction, repair and alteration, facility services and equipment, and utilities.
- Mail and Operational Equipment Portfolio. Mail and Operational Equipment Portfolio (MOE) provides for the acquisition of best value solutions to its internal business partners in the areas of letter, flat, and package mail processing platforms, material handling systems, delivery and operational equipment, and maintenance, repair, and operation (MRO) supplies. Additionally, MOE sources USPS’s mail transport equipment, new vehicle acquisitions and research and development programs, vehicle services, and all related vehicle and mail processing equipment spare parts.
- Commercial Products and Services Portfolio. Commercial Products and Services manages all business aspects of purchasing and supply management processes for the purchase of commercial products and services, such as financial, employee/human resource, professional, customer products, and fulfillment.
