The Postal Service has announced that it has filed a request with the Postal Regulatory Commission to add a new domestic shipping services contract to the list of Negotiated Service Agreements, which are part of the Mail Classification Schedule's Competitive Products List. This involves adding a contract for Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, and USPS Ground Advantage to these competitive products. The request was officially filed on December 2, 2024, and more information can be found on the Postal Regulatory Commission's website.
Simple Explanation
The Postal Service wants to add a new special contract for how some mail is sent quickly or cheaply, like Priority Mail. They asked for permission to do this, but they didn't say how it would change the cost or what it means for people sending or receiving mail.
