The U.S. Postal Service proposes regulatory changes for postage evidencing systems and customer fund advances.
- Government entity: U.S. Postal Service; no sub-agency or specific office is identified.
- Opportunity type: Proposed regulatory change, not a procurement or contract award.
- The proposal concerns resetting companies that advance postage funds to customers.
  - Companies offering advances would maintain a Postal Service deposit of at least one day’s average funds advanced.
  - They would transfer the net amount advanced each day by the morning of the next business day.
  - The proposal addresses cases where daily advances exceed the company’s deposit and clarifies that the Postal Service is not responsible for advances a company cannot recover.
- No OEMs, vendors, products, part numbers, quantities, or services are identified.

### Description

The Postal Service proposes amending its regulations for Postage Evidencing Systems to reflect existing practices and operational realities. The proposal addresses situations where a resetting company advances customers more funds in a day than its daily average funds-advanced amount on deposit with the Postal Service. It would require the resetting company to maintain a deposit of at least one day’s average funds advanced and transfer the net amount advanced for a given day by the morning of the next business day. Comments are due December 14, 2026.
