The proposed resolution, known as the Contract No. DCCB-2025-C-0033 with Pitney Bowes Federal Government Systems Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025, seeks to authorize a multi-year, fixed-price contract for leasing mailing equipment and providing postage services to the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) at a total cost of $218,928.40 over 48 months. This contract is essential as the current mailing equipment will become obsolete by September 2026, and the new equipment will ensure compliance with USPS standards. The contract was awarded to Pitney Bowes following an open market Invitation for Bids, where they were the only vendor to submit a responsive bid. The funding for the first fiscal year has been certified, with subsequent years contingent on appropriations.

The bill outlines the responsibilities of the contractor, including the delivery, installation, training, and maintenance of mailing systems, as well as compliance with USPS regulations. It specifies requirements for the equipment, such as postage metering capabilities and the ability to handle various mail types. The contractor must also provide ongoing support, including software updates and training for OAG staff. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for employee rights, anti-discrimination measures, and insurance requirements for contractors, ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations. Overall, the legislation establishes a comprehensive framework for the leasing of mailing equipment, emphasizing accountability and adherence to employment standards.
