Postage Stamp Production

Languages : en
Pages : 58
Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the United States Postal Service's initiative to procure postage stamps from the private sector, focusing on the: (1) private sector's production capacity; (2) comparative price of Bureau of Engraving and Printing and private-sector stamps; and (3) relationship between the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Postal Service. GAO found that: (1) the private sector had sufficient postage stamp production capacity to provide adequate competition; (2) the number of companies competing for postage stamp contracts has increased, and private-sector stamp production capability and capacity has expanded; (3) sufficient overlap in similar products existed between the government and private sector which made cost comparisons possible; (4) since 1987, all 21 stamp procurements have had two or more competing contractors; (5) in 1992, the Postal Service estimated that 57 billion stamps will be purchased; (6) private-sector limitations included complex printing and stamp finishing capacities; (7) the adjusted cost of procuring stamps from the private sector ranged from $.13 to $8.18 per 1,000 stamps; (8) the Bureau will continue to play a signigicant role in postage stamp production because of its work-force stability and experience; (9) the private sector and the Bureau had similar quality deficiency rates; and (10) due to a formal interagency agreement, the business relationship between the Postal Service and the Bureau has improved, and the Bureau will remain the principal provider of postage stamps.

Pages : 32
Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) initiative to contract out more postage stamp production to the private sector, and how the initiative might affect the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's (BEP) role as primary stamp producer. GAO found that: (1) the initiative currently constitutes a contract study to determine stamp production options; (2) increased private sector involvement may not reduce the Bureau's stamp production, since USPS officials projected that stamp demand would eventually surpass the Bureau's production capacity; (3) USPS began the initiative largely because relations with the Bureau had deteriorated as a result of disagreements on issues such as philatelic stamp quality, stamp adhesives, and other technical problems; (4) Bureau officials cited communication problems with USPS concerning production standards, but USPS attributed communication problems to the Bureau's nonresponsiveness; (5) USPS stated that the Bureau was not participating in the contract study, however, the Department of the Treasury cited concerns regarding information disclosure to private competitors as the reason for the Bureau's limited participation; and (6) the Bureau's future role as the main USPS stamp production source will rely on further relationship improvements, the USPS study's results, and the Bureau's ability to maintain agency and congressional support by meeting stamp requirements at reasonable prices.
