The company itself forecast a “prolonged process” Thursday as it considers challenging Oshkosh Corp.’s win in the contest to build a next-generation fleet to replace the Postal Service’s decrepit, polluting mail trucks.
Workhorse will likely turn first to an internal U.S. Postal Service process and from there can go to federal court, according to experts in contracting. Its best hope may lie with a change in the service’s governing board proposed by President Joe Biden. But even that isn’t a guarantee.
