Virginia-based Northrop Grumman filed a lawsuit back in May seeking $179m from the struggling Postal Service to compensate for delays in a $874m contract to install flats sequencing machines under the USPS modernisation programme.
USPS counter-sued at the end of October, denying various Northrop Grumman claims and firing back at its contract with allegations it breached its contract by failing to install the flats sequencing machines by the agreed dates.
The Postal Service is seeking $390m in damages, reflecting losses it says Northrop Grumman’s delays caused.
