MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
JACKSON, District Judge.
This “disappointed bidder” case presents a threshold issue which, if not altogether of first impression, has nevertheless escaped a definitive resolution by any other court and must be addressed here before reaching any of the merits questions. The issue is, simply put, whether Congress intended that procurement decisions of the United States Postal Service (“USPS” or “Postal Service”) to award contracts for goods and services it proposes to buy are, as are those of most conventional government agencies, subject to judicial review.
