When did the fed gov contract a private group to run the us post office and who are they?

There is no "private group" running the post office. The U.S. Postal Service was created by the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, which took effect July 1, 1971. The law removed the postal service from the Presidential Cabinet and made it a quasi-governmental body independent of the Executive Branch and organized along corporate lines, but with leadership appointed by the President and enjoying certain government privileges, such as monopoly power over delivery of regular mail. The U.S. Postal Service has many contracts with private firms for various services, but there is no contract with a "private group" to "run" the postal service.

How do you get a copy of a USPS contract?
Contact the contract writer at the post office distribution center or "Main" post office. That is the "hub" from which the route originates. The contract writer can give you the contract number. Then you file a request under FOIA, for a copy of the contract. Sometimes a contract writer will simply give you a copy. So call the Main post office and speak to a "contract writer". They can walk you through it. If you do not know the main office, ask a mail carrier where their mail is being brought out or originating from. It is likely a nearby large city. If this fails, call the post office in Wash. DC. Have them walk you though it.
