Analyzed Economic Effects

Amendment to Contract 107 May Change Mail Terms

The filing was accepted on February 11, 2025, and public comments are due February 20, 2025. The change may introduce new options or price terms for users of that negotiated service agreement.
Two New Priority Mail/Ground Contracts Proposed
The Postal Service requested adding Priority Mail & USPS Ground Advantage Contract 620 (MC2025-1183/K2025-1183) and Contract 621 (MC2025-1184/K2025-1184) to the Competitive Product List. Both filings were accepted on February 11, 2025, and public comments are due February 20, 2025.

Some Filing Materials Are Filed Under Seal
The Postal Service filed materials under seal for the identified negotiated service agreement requests; non-public portions can be accessed only by complying with 39 CFR 3011.301. This means full contract details are not publicly available without meeting the Commission's non-public information access requirements.
