New international shipping contract filed
The Postal Service filed to add Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail International, and First-Class Package International Service Contract 114 (Docket Nos. MC2026-244 and K2026-242). The filing was accepted May 14, 2026, a Public Representative (Kenneth Moeller) was appointed, and public comments are due May 22, 2026. This filing notifies businesses and customers who use these international mail services that the Commission will review the contract under the Competitive product rules.
New fulfillment contracts added without public comment
The Postal Service filed three new fulfillment standardized distinct products (PM-GA Contract 989, PM-GA Contract 990, and PM-GA Contract 991) in Docket Nos. MC2026-245, MC2026-246, and MC2026-247 (K2026-243, K2026-244, K2026-245). These filings were accepted May 14, 2026 and are being reviewed in summary proceedings for standardized distinct products; the Commission states it will not appoint a Public Representative or request public comment for these summary proceedings. This affects businesses and customers who use fulfillment services by adding new standardized product variations while limiting public comment and a public representative role for these specific filings.
