Yes, non-expedited passport applications can also be done at US passport agency offices. It's been that way as long as they've been around.
Some rushed new passports in order to be able to have some additional ability to get additional page supplements inserted (before that option too would be pulled in part or whole).

I need my passport for my ordinary obligations just about each and every week.
For those US citizens in some kind of less than common circumstances, using a US Passport Agency office may be the best way -- or just about the only way -- to go about getting a passport within even 6-8 weeks.
