Federal agencies must now use the contract on the General Services Administration’s Acquisition Gateway for all package shipping, according to a July 27 Office of Management and Budget memo.
The new policy applies to all small packages sent via global air and ground, OMB said. The policy, which is effective immediately, uses GSA’s Transportation and Logistics Services hallway to help reduce the number of shipping contracts across the federal government.
The hallway is managed by the Defense Department’s U.S. Transportation Command, which handles a portfolio of domestic and international transportation solutions, OMB said.
