Bottled water update. USPS has awarded Nestle a contract to supply postal facilities with 5-gallon bottled drinking water service.
If a facility currently receives bottled drinking water from Nestle, no action is required. However, management at the facility should confirm there is a valid eBuy2 requisition completed until Dec. 30.
DS Waters, which previously supplied some facilities with bottled drinking water, was not awarded a new contract under the current solicitation. The company’s contract ended Nov. 30.
Facilities that want to request new bottled drinking water service should contact Nestle by calling 800-950-9907 or sending an email to RREnterpriseSupport@waters.nestle.com. Ordering instructions will be provided based on service coverage.
For additional information, email Purchasing and Supply Management Specialist Sijo Sunny or call 214-697-2904.
