The Contract Delivery Service (CDS) solicitation for HCR 95932 in Marysville, California, seeks contractors to provide scheduled mail transportation between designated USPS locations including Oregon House, Camptonville, Browns Valley, Marysville, and Dobbins, with service commencing October 1, 2026. Proposals must be submitted by 10:00 AM Mountain Time on May 21, 2026, via email to amy.warnecke@usps.gov or fax to 651-456-6819, using mandatory USPS forms PS Form 7405 and PS Form 7468A structured into two volumes: one for technical evaluation and one for pricing. The contract is a fixed price with economic price adjustment, and award will be made based on best value through a trade-off process that prioritizes technical merit—specifically past performance, supplier capability, and operations plan—over price, though cost remains a critical factor among closely ranked offers. Offerors must demonstrate the ability to operate compliant vehicles not older than five years at award, maintain cellular communication devices, roof-mounted warning lights, and implement robust contingency plans for delays, weather, and equipment failures. All personnel must pass security clearance under MI PO-530-2009-4 to access postal facilities and systems, and the use of former USPS officers or PCES executives within 12 months of their retirement is strictly prohibited without disclosure and potential replacement. Contractors are required to adhere to extensive operational, financial, and regulatory conditions including compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, Department of Labor wage determinations, and the Service Contract Act, with clauses governing changes, fuel price adjustments, indemnification, and payment adjustments already modified from standard templates. Subcontracting obligations are triggered if the contract value reaches or exceeds $1 million, requiring submission of a detailed subcontracting plan for small, minority-, and woman-owned businesses. Offerors must complete representations and certifications on PS Form 7405 regarding size status, workforce demographics, veteran employment reporting, and potential conflicts of interest, with mandatory disclosure of any organizational conflicts involving prior involvement in USPS specification development. The contract allows for up to six months in total extensions of up to 90 days each under the same pricing terms. While no specific funding or accounting codes are provided, invoicing must align with USPS accounting procedures, and mail must be tracked using accountable scanning devices under the Address Management System.
