Express and Ground Domestic Delivery Services

A Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for Express and Ground Domestic Delivery Services (ExGDDS) was awarded October 6, 2006. The award provides for significant discounts to the low prices already available on GSA's Schedule 48 for express and ground service. This award to FedEx Corporation enables the federal government to:

• Realize significant savings;
• Eliminate fuel surcharges on domestic shipments;
• Maintain quality service levels;
• Access robust management information reports;
• Manage shipments more efficiently; and
• Implement commercial best practices for additional cost reductions.

The award is the result of a collaborative team effort among customer agencies across the federal government. The team gathered data to conduct benchmarking studies and spend analyses, defined requirements, evaluated offers, and recommended award. Under the BPA, discounts increase as the collective spend grows across the federal government.

As interested agencies identify estimated annual spend and are added to the BPA as authorized users, additional tiered discounts are realized by all participating customer agencies. Through this pricing structure, the vehicle truly leverages the government's buying power.
