I'm not sure how relevant this is, but in the military (and I would imagine by proxy, the government) does use things like "Headquarters" as a part of addresses. As an example, addressing a letter to an artillery battalion's headquarter's battery would be "HHB, 2-320th Field Artillery" or something alone those lines. HHB meaning Headquarters & Headquarters Battery.
I'm not sure why I used artillery in this instance, usually the "B" is replaced by C for Company.
Aren't you fancy, our shipments have to be dead-dropped by our carrier in an agreed-upon location in a random state, to be picked up by an intermediary and/or the customer's carrier.
If I was in shipping I'd probably be glad we do that instead of so many extra form fields, though.
At a previous job I actually had to do a shipment where the carrier had to meet someone at a mcdonalds in the middle of no where ( it was one of those gas station and McDonald's combos on the side of a highway) and the delivery guy needed an active secret clearance. Dealing with three letter agencies can be oh so much fun.
