Postmaster General John E. Potter recognized eight companies with Quality Supplier Awards recently. The winning companies are “the best of the best” in supplying employees with the equipment, tools and services they need to deliver superior products to the public. Because of their quality efforts, the United States Postal Service saved or avoided some $620 million in costs last year.
“Working together, we have set a higher standard of performance and excellence that continues to change and reconfigure the way we manage our supply chain and improve supplier relationships,” says Keith Strange, vice president of supply management for the USPS, in addressing the winners. “You have helped us reduce costs and improve service while finding newer and smarter ways to improve the services and products you provide.”
The award winners are:
- Boise Cascade Office Products, Itasca, Illinois, which provides office supplies to the postal service.
- ConEdison Solutions, White Plains, New York, which provides the postal service with energy.
- Maritz Research, Fenton, Missouri, which provides mystery shoppers to measure customer service.
- MSC Industrial Supply Co., Melville, New York, which provides maintenance, repair and operating products via eBuy catalog.
- Northrop Grumman Security Systems, Elkridge, Maryland, which designed and built the postal service’s biohazard detection system.

- Siemens Dematic Postal Automation L.P., Arlington, Texas, which developed the postal service’s delivery bar code sorter.
- W.W. Grainger Inc., Lake Forest, Illinois, which provides custodial services and products.
