Domestic Mail Contract Changes
The Postal Service filed requests to add or amend negotiated service agreements for domestic services including Priority Mail Express, Priority Mail, and USPS Ground Advantage (e.g., Contracts 315, 1057, 883, and 1442). These filings may lead to new mailing options or changed prices for people and businesses that use these domestic package and letter services; comments are due October 24, 2025.
International Mail Contract Additions
The Postal Service seeks to add international negotiated contracts for Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail International, and First-Class Package International Service (e.g., Contracts 95 and 97). If approved, these could change options or prices for customers and businesses sending international packages; comments are due October 24, 2025.
Sealed Filings Limit Public Detail
Several docket entries are filed “with Materials Filed Under Seal,” meaning some financial models and details are non-public unless accessed under 39 CFR 3011.301. This limits the public’s direct view of the sealed pricing or financial details underlying the proposed contracts while the public comment window remains open through October 24, 2025.
