Thank you for finding that information. I don't know if it will ever be helpful but more data is always a good thing.
UPS is most certainly considered a federal contractor, the question would be whether they meet the definition under this mandate.
You can see officially awarded contracts in fiscal year 2020 are $235M
The vaccine distribution is coordinated by the federal govt included on FY 2021.
UPS also provides hundreds of millions of dollars of services to federal government agencies outside these officially awarded contracts. These are considered "contract like agreements"
Since POGO was founded in 1981, we have taken on new programs and entered into partnerships as we’ve grown our effort to build a more accountable government.

Many jobs at UPS require annual compliance training regarding federal government contractor protocols and ethics.
Whether or not UPS meets the definition of contractor for this mandate becomes moot if the company's legal team uses this as shelter.
I'm not sure how pointing out that every UPSer should consider what their stance will be if a jab lose your job requirement becomes reality is "communist agitation"? I'm certainly not claiming any type of authority, just the opposite. If In had authority I would do everything in my power to stop this madness. Instead I can only point out that if such a requirement comes out the only hope is for everyone to stand up and refuse to disclose their private medical information.
I echo 100% everyone have a safe peak. Focus on safety and don't be distracted.
It is prudent and patriotic to not bury your head in the sand however.
