Contract Delivery Services (CDS) are a contractual agreement between the Postal Service and an individual or company for the delivery and collection of mail to and from homes and businesses. CDS offers a cost-effective way for the Postal Service to extend its reach while maintaining control over business expenses. In many cases, CDS routes provide an efficient method for delivering mail to communities, especially in rural or underserved areas.

Our audit will evaluate the management, efficiency and safety of CDS operations. Specifically, we will evaluate supplier costs, vehicle requirements, driver safety, and security measures for CDS routes.
