IIRC, USPS is actually a private government-affiliated entity - so, kindof like a contractor. They get some governmental benefits but are not fully government, they get grants, etc, but also function as a private entity in a lot of ways.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I remember learning along the line that Postal Inspectors are the only private security force with federal police powers.
