Unless things have changed, no.

Back in the early 2000s the USPS canceled the the ten year year they had signed with Kitty Hawk after only a couple years. They decided they wanted a carrier with presence everywhere. The USPS determined that there were only two cargo companies with that presence. And the USPS didn't get along with UPS so it was a no bid award of the express mail contract to FedEx.
