CHAPTER 12
POSTAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES
At all MPOs, USPS equipment, publications, and
supplies are to be used to the maximum extent
possible. This includes capital and sensitive
equipment, expendable supplies, and all required
USPS publications.
Office equipment, such as safes, office furniture,
copying machines, and calculators, are provided by the
respective military service. The military services also
provide pens, pencils, writing paper and other general
office supplies needed to operate an MPO. Military
post offices can also order General Services
Administration (GSA) stock items approved by
MPSA. Normally, only the Navy’s largest post offices
order supply items from GSA; smaller offices usually
obtain needed items through the Navy’s supply
channels. For the information of postal clerks who
may be tasked with ordering GSA items, table 12-1
provides an example of some MPSA approved GSA
items that Navy post offices are authorized to order.
Navy post offices overseas in the Atlantic Theater
order supplies from GSA via JMPA-A using PS Form
7380 or 7381, as appropriate for the type of item(s)
being ordered.
Navy post offices overseas in the Pacific Theater
can order GSA items direct from their serving GSA
Customer Supply Center (CSC) located in Hawaii or
Japan, using GSA Form 3542, GSA Customer Supply
Center Order Form, (see figure12-1). Before ordering
supplies the COPE must establish an account by
submitting GSA Form 3525, Application for Customer
Supply Center Services and Address Change, to the
address of the CSC serving their area (see figure 12-2).
Postal clerks desiring additional information on
ordering GSA items should contact MPSA or their
serving JMPA.
DD forms and OPNAV forms required for office
operation should be procured through local supply
channels.
USPS forms required to be maintained in a Navy
MPO are listed in the OPNAV 5112.6. When
requisitioning USPS forms, labels, tags, and
publications, refer to USPS Publication 223.
