Our objective was to determine if the Postal Service timely terminated payments to Contract Postal Unit (CPU) and Village Post Office (VPO) suppliers when services were no longer provided. The Postal Service fulfills its universal service obligation partly through its Alternate Access Channels programs, which offer postal products and convenient mail services where customers live, work, and shop. These programs include CPUs and VPOs. All CPUs and VPOs provide Postal services as required by contract with the Postal Service in a supplier-owned or supplier-leased facility.
