NEW: Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's former company, New Breed, was awarded multiple noncompetitive contracts by USPS that may have cost taxpayers as much as $53 million more than if they'd been competitively bid.
The 2001 audit, reviewed by @NBCNews, concluded by saying all of the Postal Service contracts with New Breed "could have been awarded competitively, resulting in more fair and reasonable contract prices overall."
"It's puzzling why it was not referred for investigation," said former Postal Service Inspector General Dave Williams, referring to the conclusions reached by the audit. Williams was inspector general from 2003 to 2016.
DeJoy said through a spokesman that the report was a review of Postal Service contracting and not of New Breed. "There was no finding in the review that the company did not fulfill the terms and conditions of the contract," he said.
And the Postal Service disputed some of ..
the inspector general's findings about the company's proposed pricing, "which it indicated was a reflection of operating in high-cost labor regions of the country that the company was required to serve," the spokesman said.
