Postal Service

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 49111 for Postal Service encompasses the operations and services related to mail transportation, processing, and delivery. This category includes both government and commercial postal services, focusing on the collection, sorting, transportation, and distribution of letters, packages, and other postal items. The services span various modes of transportation and delivery, including highway contract routes, general mail facility operations, and specialized mail handling for government agencies.

The federal contract awards under this NAICS code primarily involve Contract Delivery Service (CDS) routes for the United States Postal Service (USPS), typically covering rural and remote mail delivery routes. These contracts are predominantly awarded to small businesses and individual contractors who provide transportation services using specified vehicles with defined cargo capacities. The contract values range from approximately $50,000 to $500,000 annually, with contract periods typically spanning 4-5 years. Common funding agencies include the USPS, Department of Defense, and Indian Health Service, with performance locations primarily in rural and remote areas across multiple states, including Alaska, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Washington.

Recent federal contract opportunities under this NAICS code demonstrate a diverse range of postal and mail-related services. The opportunities include specialized mail transportation contracts for rural routes, postage meter replenishment services for healthcare facilities, electronic postage management systems for government agencies, and comprehensive mail processing and distribution services for military installations. Federal agencies such as the U.S. Postal Service, Department of the Army, Indian Health Service, and Government Accountability Office are seeking contractors to provide mail-related services across various locations, including military bases, healthcare facilities, and remote geographical areas. The opportunities are predominantly unrestricted or set aside for small businesses, with a focus on efficient, secure, and reliable mail transportation and processing services.
