Delivery Vehicle Acquisition Strategy

In FY 2015, the Postal Service began planning the acquisition process for a new purpose-built, Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV) to start replacing the current LLV fleet beginning in FY 2018 through FY 2019. However, by the end of FY 2019, the Postal Service had not awarded the estimated $5-6 billion contract(s) for the production of the NGDV. Due to frequent changes to the NGDV acquisition timeline, the planned production deployment date is now scheduled for January 2022. Our objective was to assess the Postal Service’s acquisition strategy for delivery and collection vehicles.
