Purchase Order 19PCRD26K3787

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $37,747.94 to United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) on January 26, 2026, for mail invoicing services. The contract, which requires performance in Atlanta, Georgia, and carries an ultimate completion date of February 23, 2026, was awarded without a set-aside designation, reflecting UPS's competitive positioning in open federal procurement. This award represents a continuation of the Bureau's long-standing relationship with UPS, which has received hundreds of similar purchase orders for mail processing and invoice services supporting the Department of State's consular operations, including passport processing and visa application functions.

UPS, headquartered in Atlanta and registered as a federal contractor since 2001, maintains extensive experience providing shipping, package delivery, and mail processing services across civilian and defense agencies. Beyond its direct purchase order portfolio with the State Department, UPS participates in significant government-wide acquisition contracts, including the Next Generation Delivery Services 2 (NGDS 2) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity vehicle managed by the General Services Administration, which enables federal agencies to procure logistics support through pre-negotiated terms. The company also holds specialized blanket purchase agreements, including a $1 million agreement with the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing, underscoring its strategic role as a critical logistics partner across multiple federal agencies.
