Well, isn't that interesting...

A two-decade-old audit of mail equipment transport contracts by the U.S. Postal Service's inspector general found that a company previously run by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy was awarded multiple noncompetitive contracts by the Postal Service that may have cost consumers as much as $53 million more than if they'd been competitively bid.

[...]

The [2001] audit, reviewed by NBC News, made it clear that the premise for awarding any noncompetitive contracts to a single vendor, such as New Breed, "did not fully meet Postal Service requirements" and "potentially exposed the Postal Service to cost and performance risks."

[...]

DeJoy was chief executive of New Breed from 1983 to 2014.

[...]

"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.

[...]

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.

So that makes it okay.
