Report Description:
Our objective for this alert was to determine facility opening procedures and mail conditions at the South Houston Local Processing Center.
Each year, increased mail volume during the Postal Service’s peak mailing season — Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve1 — significantly strains the Postal Service’s processing and distribution network. The Postal Service opens peak season annexes to temporarily help with increased package volume at select processing facilities. As part of our peak season audit, we assessed the Postal Service’s acquisition and use of these peak season annexes. One such annex we identified was the South Houston Local Processing Center (LPC), which opened on November 18, 2023, and was associated with the North Houston Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).
