About this opportunity
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is conducting market research for a commercially available Stamp Dispensing System designed to improve stamp stock sortation and distribution capabilities at its Stamp Fulfillment Services (SFS) facility. The system must be capable of dispensing singulated panes of stamps and other stamp products, accommodating both 2D and 3D stamp stock with specific dimensional requirements. Key performance objectives include a throughput of 800 orders per hour, zero error rate, and limited maintenance interventions, with the ability to handle 100-500 stock-keeping units (SKUs) in a modular design. Potential suppliers must submit responses by January 31, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST, providing details on technical capabilities, company background, financial capacity, production schedules, and rough order of magnitude pricing for one unit. Questions regarding the Request for Information (RFI) are due by January 22, 2025, at 5:00 PM EST and should be directed to Adam Steele and Andrew Hopkins.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this contract opportunity. While the exact award value is not specified, the USPS is exploring the procurement of a system that can be deployed across 500 dispensers, with 100 of those designated for 3D stock. The system must interface with USPS networks via API, include error detection and maintenance diagnostics, and be compatible with USPS stamp trays measuring 22.875" x 14.25" x 8.5". The current phase is purely market research, and the USPS has not committed to a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) or contract award, pending a positive business case evaluation and securing of funding. Suppliers are expected to demonstrate their ability to meet the comprehensive technical and operational requirements outlined in the Statement of Objectives, with a focus on innovative solutions that can enhance the efficiency of stamp stock management.
