Invitation to Register as Supplier on the USPS eSourcing Portal. Solicitations for HCR Contract Delivery Services will no longer be solicited on FBO. GOV.

  To:          Prospective Offeror

 Subject:  Invitation to Register as Supplier on the USPS eSourcing Portal

 The United States Postal Service routinely issues solicitations for contract delivery and mail transportation service in your area.  Effective October 1, 2012, the majority of the solicitations will be posted EXCLUSIVELY on the USPS eSourcing Portal as the National Offeror's List will be officially retired.  The eSourcing Portal allows the supplier to download solicitations and place offers electronically.

 If you are interested in meeting the needs of the Postal Service and would like to continue to receive notice of solicitation postings, you must register your organization on the new USPS eSourcing solution.  The routine notifications of posted solicitations that you had previously received have ceased. The Registration Guide can be found at:  https://uspsesourcing.emptoris.com/sso/jsp/login.jsp. .

This new systematic approach is by invitation only.  If a supplier is not registered in the application, that supplier cannot receive an invitation to participate in a solicitation.  Registering in the application eliminates the need to call/inquire about any given solicitation.
