About this opportunity
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is seeking to procure a Self-service Postmarking and Cancellation Machine for letter and flat mail, with initial testing to be conducted at the Retail Test Lab in Merrifield, VA. The Request for Information (RFI) 3A-25-A-0035 aims to evaluate the feasibility of a secure and efficient self-service system that allows customers to postmark their own mail at retail locations. Interested suppliers must submit comprehensive responses by 5:00 PM EST on March 31, 2025, including technical solutions, company information, financial documentation, estimated costs, and lead times. Potential respondents are required to provide technical responses detailing how they would meet system objectives, with questions due by March 17, 2025, and USPS responses to be provided by March 24, 2025. The evaluation will focus on suppliers' ability to design or upgrade equipment, develop integration software with unlimited intellectual property rights, and demonstrate system integration capabilities.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity. The Statement of Objectives (SOO) outlines detailed technical requirements, including a stamping speed of 3,600 pieces per hour, adjustable print head, automatic ink supply system, and specific performance metrics such as a postmark missing rate of 0.4% and envelope damage rate of 0.1%. The equipment must operate on 120/240V 60Hz power with 1920W consumption and maintain a noise level of 75dB. Deliverables include pricing estimates, equipment delivery and installation, comprehensive technical documentation, parts lists, and safety instructions. While the RFI does not guarantee a contract award, suppliers providing feasible solutions may be considered for a future formal Request for Proposal (RFP). The ultimate goal is to assess the potential implementation of self-service mail postmarking capabilities across USPS retail locations.
