Will $13 million bribery scandal lead USPS to reissue its procurement regulations?

According to David Hendel writting for The Contractors Perspective:

Did the U.S. Postal Service’s lack of procurement regulations inadvertently help USPS officials carry out a $13 million bribery scheme over several years? Five Postal Service employees were indicted in May 2011 by a Detroit, MI grand jury for taking bribes and steering as much as $13 million in vehicle maintenance work to a private contractor. Could this scheme have been prevented, or caught earlier, if USPS had not abolished its procurement regulations in 2006?

  1. Ummm…………yes. This just goes to show that any high school dropout, kiss ass, lazy, “I wanna make a lot more money and don’t want to work while employed with the USPS” – “boss” can abuse the system and cost the Post Office precious revenue. Well gents ………… a few more years of pivots should help them get back that 13 mil — put it on our backs!!
