18 U.S.C. § 441 — Postal supply contracts

This section stops the Postal Service from contracting with people who cheated the bidding process for supply contracts. No contract for furnishing supplies to the Postal Service may be made with anyone who has done any of the following: entered into, or proposed, a combination to prevent others from bidding for the supplies; agreed to fix a price or prices for the supplies; or given, performed, or promised to give or perform, any payment or benefit to induce another person not to bid, or to bid only at a set price. Whoever violates this section can be fined under this title's general fine provisions, imprisoned for up to one year, or both. If the person who committed the violation is a contractor already furnishing these supplies, their contract may also be annulled — canceled — as a result.
