WASHINGTON—The Postal Service will launch fifteen new sorting and delivery centers (S&DC) around the nation on September 7, 2024. Seven of these S&DCs will open with multiple 5-Digit ZIP Codes being moved into them. Eight S&DCs will open without additional 5-Digit ZIP Codes moving into them. Two existing S&DCs will expand with additional 5-Digit ZIP Codes and one additional previously activated S&DC will become fully operational without additional 5-Digit ZIP Codes moving into it. These S&DCs are an integral part of the Postal Service’s Delivering for America plan to create a best-in-class processing and delivery network.

The S&DCs will revitalize our network of nearly 19,000 delivery units—the last stop for mail and packages before they are delivered by our carriers. The Postal Service has targeted key markets where it is beneficial to aggregate delivery units into fewer, larger, centrally located S&DCs —leveraging both repurposed and new facilities —to simplify the entire network and create a more reliable and efficient Postal Service.
