The U.S. Postal Service has formally requested prototypes from 15 qualified vendors for a purpose-built next-generation delivery vehicle that would replace its aging fleet of Long Life Vehicles . In its Request for Proposal posted to FedBizOpps.gov on Oct. 20, 2015, the USPS is asking for a delivery vehicle that must meet a series of specific criteria and capabilities rather than purchasing a commercially available van or truck now offered by manufacturers.
