Federal - Contract Postal Unit - MAIL — required surety bond in Federal. Apply online in minutes.
A Federal Contract Postal Unit (CPU) bond is a surety bond required by the United States Postal Service for businesses operating as an approved postal unit. It guarantees the ethical handling of mail and protects the USPS against financial loss resulting from theft, dishonesty, or failure to remit postal funds.
Businesses and independent contractors who have entered into an agreement with the USPS to operate a Contract Postal Unit typically need this bond. This often includes retail locations like convenience stores, pharmacies, and greeting card shops that offer postal services on-site.
The USPS generally requires this bond to ensure the operator handles mail securely and remits all collected postal revenues properly. It acts as a financial guarantee that the operator will adhere to the terms of their contract and safeguard federal property and funds.
