12806 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 51 / Wednesday, March 17, 2010 / Notices 

Mail Classification Schedule language 

for GEPS 2. The Postal Service identifies 

customer specific information and 

general contract terms that distinguish 

the instant contract from the baseline 

GEPS 2 agreement. Id. at 4–8. It 

contends that the instant contract is 

functionally equivalent to the GEPS 2 

contracts filed previously 

notwithstanding these differences. Id. at 

6–7. 

The Postal Service asserts that several 

factors demonstrate the contract’s 

functional equivalence with previous 

GEPS 2 contracts, including the general 

terms of the contract, the market to 

which it is being offered, and its cost 

characteristics. Id. at 3. The Postal 

Service concludes that because the 

‘‘GEPS agreements incorporate the same 

cost attributes and methodology, the 

relevant cost and market characteristics 

are similar, if not the same . . .’’ despite 

any incidental differences. Id. at 6. 

The Postal Service contends that its 

filings demonstrate that this new GEPS 

2 contract is established in compliance 

with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633, 

is functionally equivalent to previous 

GEPS 2 contracts, and requests that this 

contract be included within the GEPS 2 

product. Id. at 7.
