NTIS signs Memorandum of Understanding with USPS to offer Federal agencies expanded services in unique Midwest location.
NTIS and the U.S. Postal Service have agreed to collaborate in offering order fulfillment, warehousing, storage, inventory management, data and customer maintenance services to Federal agencies. NTIS will work directly with USPS Stamp Fulfillment Services (SFS) located in the 'caves' of Kansas City, MO.
The unique location of SFS allows for a consistent climate controlled environment which is conducive to maintaining and retaining the quality of stamps and products customers expect. The SFS can process more than ten thousand orders each day and take orders through a variety of methods. The SubTropolis 'cave' environment also lends itself to creating additional warehousing space when needed.
SFS offers warehousing, customer database maintenance, document shredding, and fulfillment opportunities. The SFS also provides state-of-the-art security system with the facility. As such, it has the ability to augment NTIS's own information delivery, eCommerce and order processing infrastructure located in its Federally secure data center in serving Federal agency information requirements.
