Evaluation

Resumes must address all criteria, and any proposed hourly rate exceeding the Not-to-Exceed (NTE) rate will be rejected.

The USPS OIG is not under the purview of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Contractors must comply with the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1972 for contracts valued at $150,000 or more. Electronic submissions are encouraged to fafrasiabi@uspsoig.gov.
