Postal Service sticks with Northrop Grumman for repairs

Northrop Grumman Information Technology will continue its repair work on the Postal Service's mail processing equipment and automated devices.

USPS awarded Northrop Grumman IT a $130 million contract for repairs and ordering system management. The contract, which was a recompete for work done by the company for almost 25 years, is for the Postal Service Central Repair Facility and has a two-year base and an option for 10 years, the company announced today.
