• A Postal Service employee can’t award a cleaning, lawn care, snow removal or maintenance contract to a fellow employee.
• Contracts with postal employees or their family members is against the rules in the Postal Service’s Supplying Principles and Practices and the Administrative Support Manual.

Not awarding a local buy contract to a Postal Service employee maintains the integrity and reputation of USPS as a fair and honest business.

And that’s smart business.
