Notice of Availability of Updated Record of Decision for Next Generation Delivery Vehicles Acquisitions

To replace existing delivery vehicles nationwide that have reached the end of their service life, the U.S. Postal Service has determined that it will implement the Preferred Alternative set forth in its September 29, 2023, Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS). The Preferred Alternative is the purchase and deployment of a mixed fleet of Commercial Off-the-Shelf and Next Generation Delivery Vehicles. Of the total quantity of 106,480 vehicles to be procured under this SEIS, 62 percent would have battery electric powertrains.

This Updated Record of Decision (Updated ROD) supersedes the Record of Decision issued on February 23, 2022, and became effective when it was signed by the Postal Service's Senior Vice President for Facilities and Fleet Management on December 5, 2023.

Interested parties may view the Updated ROD, Final SEIS and all prior NEPA documents related to this procurement at http://uspsngdveis.com/.
