Missing Children Poster Display Instructions Please display this poster prominently on bulletin boards in retail lobbies of main Post Offices, classified stations, and branches. Operators of contract postal units may display this poster at their option. Companion posters, authorized for display on bulletin boards maintained by employee organizations, appear periodically in The Postal Record, a publication for members of the National Association of Letter Carriers. This poster is published in cooperation with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the United States Department of Justice, and the National Association of Letter Carriers. Information appearing on this poster is selected solely by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). In addition to Postal Bulletin updates, NCMEC distributes information via broadcast fax. Notification of newly reported missing children is sent to designated district “Missing Children” coordinators at fax numbers provided by district managers. Within 24 hours of receipt of a facsimile Missing Children poster, district coordinators should distribute copies to all Postal Service facilities in their districts. Missing Children posters are to be displayed for 30 days in Post Office lobbies, workroom floor areas, and other Postal Service facilities, unless notification is received (from NCMEC) to remove a particular poster sooner. The broadcast fax network is used to distribute posters and information in only the most urgent cases of missing and exploited children. This system supplements, but does not replace, the missing children information in this Postal Bulletin. Missing Children posters are available to the U.S. Postal Service only as described above. If Postal Service employees are contacted by individuals or local agencies about displaying a sign or poster of a missing child in local Post Offices, the individual or agency should be politely informed that the U.S. Postal Service displays only those posters provided by NCMEC, because it has been designated by the U.S. Department of Justice to be the national clearinghouse and resource center for missing and exploited children. The individual or agency should then be referred to NCMEC at 800-843-5678. If you have any information, or for free prevention tips, please call 800-THE-LOST (800-843-5678).

NOTICE Functional Realignment of Chicago, Memphis, San Francisco, and Windsor Purchasing Service Centers On January 17, 2006, the Chicago, Memphis, San Francisco, and Windsor Purchasing Service Centers (PSCs) transi- tioned into two services Category Management Centers (CMCs). This transition allows functional alignment within Supply Management. The newly formed CMCs consist of two offices and will operate from four locations. The realignment is as follows: Old Office Name New Office Name Purchasing Service Center — Memphis, TN Eastern Services Category Management Center (ESCMC) — Purchasing Service Center — Windsor, CT Memphis, TN and Windsor, CT

Purchasing Service Center — Chicago, IL Western Services Category Management Center (WSCMC) — Purchasing Service Center — San Francisco, CA Chicago, IL andSan Francisco, CA

This realignment allows the newly formed CMCs to apply supply chain management techniques in order to strategically manage and source commodities formerly administered by the four PSCs. The result is the consolidation of contracts and suppliers, the ability to leverage spending, and the reduction in overall costs for the Postal Service. The CMCs will continue to provide tactical one-time purchases and customer support for the areas they previously serviced. The contract categories assigned to the two new CMCs are as follows: Eastern Services Memphis, TN, Areas of Western Services Chicago, IL, and Areas of and Windsor, CT Responsibility San Francisco, CA Responsibility Total Waste Management (Trash National Landscaping Services National Removal and Recycling) Building Operation Services National Snow Removal Services National (HVAC and Water Treatment) Food Services National Cleaning and Janitorial Services Areas Serviced: Great Lakes Southwest Pacific Western 86 POSTAL BULLETIN 22174 (2-16-06)
