The Postal Service bases contract award decisions on best value. The Postal Service is more concerned with making an award at the lowest overall price than with obtaining superior technical or management features. However, the Postal Service may not necessarily make an award at the lowest price in order to achieve a small price savings if better value can be achieved with superior technical or management features. The benefits of a higher priced proposal may merit a higher price. The USPS is issuing the following solicitations 089495-18-A-0001 and 089495-18-A-0002 together for the following two projects: B10714 Truck loading dock signal lights and dock doors replacement & B24531 Truck Loading dock levelers and dock seals replacement at USPS owned Flushing Queens P&DC, 14202 20th Ave. RM 301, Flushing, NY. 11351, Queens County.
