Contract Delivery Service (CDS) HCR 95932 MARYSVILLE PO, CA - H001, CA

This Contract Delivery Service (CDS) solicitation, identified as HCR 95932 for the Marysville Post Office in California, seeks a fixed-price contractor to provide reliable and timely mail transportation services between several USPS facilities in California—including Oregon House, Camptonville, Browns Valley, Marysville, and Dobbins. The contract, with an effective start date of October 1, 2026, requires adherence to strict schedules ensuring mail security, handling, and compliance with all relevant federal and USPS regulations. The contractor must furnish all necessary personnel, equipment no older than five years at award (with vehicle replacement required at nine years), and communication devices such as roof-mounted warning lights and cellular phones. Immediate reporting is required for delays exceeding 15 minutes, and the contractor must be ready to accommodate additional trips or schedule modifications under the contract’s Changes clause. The contract emphasizes operational flexibility, safety, and maintenance of the mail’s sanctity throughout transport. The evaluation favors technical factors—past performance, supplier capability, and operations plan—over price, employing a best-value trade-off approach rather than Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. Offerors must submit a comprehensive two-volume proposal consisting of technical and cost details using prescribed Postal Service forms. Proposals are due by May 21, 2026, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time and must be submitted electronically to the designated USPS contact.

The contract also provides for short-term option extensions with specific limitations and includes clauses addressing subcontracting plans for contracts meeting or exceeding $1 million in value. Payment procedures, inspection and acceptance guidelines, and detailed contractor responsibilities related to compliance with federal safety standards, labor laws, and USPS operational mandates are incorporated throughout the contract terms.
