Recognizing our partners

The Supplier Performance Awards program recognizes suppliers involved in Supply Chain Management (SCM) whose successes made a difference in helping the Postal Service achieve positive bottom-line savings, increased revenue or performance results, and who have consistently exhibited a collaborative business relationship with the USPS.
The Supplier Performance Awards Program recognizes suppliers for excellence in these six separate categories.
The SPA category is reserved for key suppliers, those companies evaluated annually who are deemed critical to the success of Postal Service operations or services in their respective commodity areas. These companies demonstrate collaborative performance objectives and developmental progress, and are exemplary performers assisting the Postal Service in achieving its business objectives.
