Two New Standardized Postal Products
The Postal Service filed requests to add two new standardized distinct Competitive products: "PM-GA Contract 1081" (Mid-Market) and "PM-GA Contract 1083" (Fulfillment). Both filings were accepted on September 1, 2026 and are identified by dockets MC2026-369 & K2026-359 and MC2026-371 & K2026-361. These are negotiated service agreement variations proposed for the Competitive product list.
No Public Comment for Summary Review
Because these requests are for standardized distinct products, they will be reviewed in summary proceedings and, pursuant to 39 CFR 3041.405(c)-(d), the Commission will not appoint a Public Representative or request public comment on them. The Commission notes there are no public proceedings for these filings and treats them under the summary proceeding rules.
Public vs Non‑Public Filing Access Rules
The notice says the public portions of the Postal Service filings are available on the Commission's website, and any non-public portions can be accessed only through compliance with 39 CFR 3011.301. The filings cite authority including 39 U.S.C. 3633 and 3642 and related Commission rules.
