ECS Wins $138M US Postal Service AGT Contract

ECS will provide enterprise applications and IT support for geospatial analytics and data management

ECS, a leader in advanced technology, science, and digital transformation solutions, has won a seven-year recompete contract valued at $138M in support of the United States Postal Service (USPS) Addressing and Geospatial Technologies (AGT) Professional Support Services program. The AGT program is the USPS’s authoritative source on addressing and geospatial technology. It uses mapping technology to support visualization, analytics, and other services throughout the USPS.

ECS will provide enterprise application and IT support for the program’s application development, geospatial analytics, database management, help desk, and project management office. ECS will also introduce AI tools that improve operational efficiency and effectiveness. As the USPS moves toward barcode automation for all U.S. mail, ECS’ support will help the independent agency advance two specific goals: providing mailers with top quality address products and services, and ensuring cost-effective, timely mail delivery, as well as greater safety for mail carriers.

“Every year, processing undeliverable-as-addressed mail costs the USPS upwards of $1 billion. With ECS’ support, the USPS AGT will be better equipped to help mailers improve address quality and optimize routing,” said John Heneghan, president of ECS. “We’re excited for the opportunity to continue this decade-plus partnership and help the USPS provide our nation with reliable, affordable, universal mail service.”

“Delivering the mail successfully and economically depends on the USPS AGT’s ability to produce addresses that are complete and correct,” said Deron Baker, vice president of Enterprise Solutions at ECS. “ECS’ industry-leading data professionals, engineers, and data scientists facilitate these critical services by creating and maintaining effective geospatial applications and enterprise data management solutions.”
