The Postal Service has notified the Postal Regulatory Commission of its intention to add a new domestic shipping services contract to the list of Negotiated Service Agreements in the Mail Classification Schedule's Competitive Products List. This involves a request to include the Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, and USPS Ground AdvantageĀ® Contract 840 in the Competitive Product List. The announcement was officially made on December 17, 2024. Additional details can be found on the Postal Regulatory Commission's website with the docket numbers MC2025-552 and K2025-550.
Simple Explanation
The Postal Service wants to make a new mail delivery deal that sounds like it's going on a special list, like when a toy gets a special shelf in a store, but it didn't say much about why this is good or how it will work.
