The Procurement Law team provides primary legal support for clients in the Postal Service’s Supply Management, Transportation Strategy, and Fleet Modernization & Electrification organizations. Our clients purchase equipment and services needed to fulfill the Postal Service’s universal service mission and the strategic goals of the Postal Service’s Delivering for America plan.

We provide cradle-to-grave support for all major procurement activities, including advising on the solicitation process, negotiation of contract awards, and post-award claims and disputes. We also provide advice concerning pre- and post-award procurement protests, debarments, and congressional and media inquiries, among other assignments. Additionally, we represent the Postal Service in a first-chair capacity in litigation before the Postal Service Board of Contract Appeals.
Although experience in government contracts is preferred, attorneys with three or more years of experience in related areas of federal law, commercial contract disputes and litigation, or contract negotiation, are also encouraged to apply.
