Our objective was to determine whether U.S. Postal Service contracting officers (COs) are properly extending contracts. The Postal Service may use options or renewals to extend contracts beyond the original agreement when doing so would represent the best value for the organization. As of July 2017, the Postal Service had 313 open contracts over eight years old, with invoice activity within the last two years. The Postal Service paid over $3.4 billion on these contracts. We judgmentally selected 62 contracts to review, for which the Postal Service paid over $520 million.
Our objective was to determine whether the U.S. Postal Service has implemented effective physical security and environmental and wireless access controls according to policy and industry best practices at the [redacted] Processing & Distribution Center (P&DC). The [redacted] P&DC is 630,806 square feet and processes about 475 million mailpieces annually. The facility also includes a retail store, business mail entry unit (BMEU), and administrative offices. We selected this site based on Postal Service and OIG facility risk assessments.
