We are committed to the highest standards of ethical conduct in all of our business dealings. USPS employees must adhere to Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (5 CFR 2635), and the Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the United States Postal Service (5 CFR 7001). Employees are also guided by the Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM®) Principles of Social Responsibility.
Government-wide regulations issued by the Office of Government Ethics prohibits the acceptance of gifts or gratuities from suppliers or other persons seeking business opportunities with USPS. Exceptions allow for the acceptance of items of nominal value, but we discourage the offer and acceptance of these items.
