What is the Supplier Performance Awards Program?
For over 30 years the Postal Service’s Supplier Recognition program has celebrated the efforts of suppliers who make outstanding contributions to the success of the Postal Service. The Supplier Performance Awards program recognizes suppliers involved in Supply Chain Management (SCM) whose successes made a difference in helping the Postal Service achieve positive bottom-line savings, increased revenue or performance results, and who have consistently exhibited a collaborative business relationship with the USPS.
What are the criteria for each award category?
The Supplier Performance Awards Program recognizes suppliers for excellence in these six separate categories.
The Supplier Performance Awards (SPA) category, is reserved for key suppliers, the companies critical to the overall success of USPS operations or service.
