WASHINGTON — A two-decade-old audit of mail equipment transport contracts by the U.S. Postal Service's inspector general found that a company previously run by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy was awarded multiple noncompetitive contracts by the Postal Service that may have cost consumers as much as $53 million more than if they'd been competitively bid.
The audit concluded by saying all of the Postal Service contracts with New Breed"could have been awarded competitively, resulting in more fair and reasonable contract prices overall." Story continuesAnd the Postal Service disputed some of the inspector general's findings about the company's proposed pricing,"which it indicated was a reflection of operating in high-cost labor regions of the country that the company was required to serve," the spokesman said. The company was sold in 2015 to XPO Logistics, which didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
The House Oversight Committee has scheduled a hearing Monday to delve further into DeJoy's business history and qualifications to run the Postal Service. The irregularities cited in the audit, Williams said, underscore why he pressed for a full background check when DeJoy he was nominated for postmaster general.
