Shipping Services covers public solicitations for moving parcels, mail and freight: courier and overnight delivery, mail presort and processing, freight hauling, household goods moves for employees, specimen and records transport, and shipping supplies. Buyers include federal agencies, state mail and central services units, courts, universities, hospital systems, school districts, cities and counties.
Routine shipping and courier work is usually bought through a request for quotation or an invitation for bid that sets out routes, volumes, pickup times and rates, and the award often goes to the lowest responsive bidder. Larger mail processing or multi-carrier programs may go out as a request for proposals scored on capability and price. Carriers are generally expected to carry the operating authority and insurance the work requires.
This page lists open shipping services bids from state, local and federal buyers, with the soonest closing first, plus recently closed solicitations and contract awards. Many of these contracts are rebid on a regular cycle, so the award history helps you see when routes and mail contracts turn over and who currently holds them.
