Notice of Availability of Updated Record of Decision for Next 
Generation Delivery Vehicles Acquisitions

    To replace existing delivery vehicles nationwide that have reached 
the end of their service life, the U.S. Postal Service has determined 
that it will implement the Preferred Alternative set forth in its 
September 29, 2023, Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement 
(SEIS). The Preferred Alternative is the purchase and deployment of a 
mixed fleet of Commercial Off-the-Shelf and Next Generation Delivery 
Vehicles. Of the total quantity of 106,480 vehicles to be procured 
under this SEIS, 62 percent would have battery electric powertrains.
    This Updated Record of Decision (Updated ROD) supersedes the Record 
of Decision issued on February 23, 2022, and became effective when it 
was signed by the Postal Service's Senior Vice President for Facilities 
and Fleet Management on December 5, 2023.
    Interested parties may view the Updated ROD, Final SEIS and all 
prior NEPA documents related to this procurement at http://uspsngdveis.com/ com/.
