(7)You or the holding agency is a wholly owned or mixed-ownership Government corporation as defined in the Government Corporation Control Act (31 U.S.C. 9101-9110).

102-36.45-36.45 Transfer with reimbursement.#

(a)You may be required to reimburse the holding agency for the fair market value when the transfer involves any of the conditions in § 102-36.40(b)(1) through (4).

This part covers excess personal property disposal located in the United States (U.S.), the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Northern Mariana Islands by executive agencies. Use of pronouns “we,” “you,” and their variants throughout this part refer to the agency.

102-36.50-36.50 Excess personal property screening period.#

102-36.105-36.105 Fee when furnishing excess personal property to project grantees.#

You may acquire excess personal property for use by a project grantee without paying the 25% fee when any of the following conditions apply:

(a)The personal property was originally acquired from excess sources by your agency and has been placed into official use by your agency for at least one year. The Federal Government retains title to such property.

(b)The property is furnished under section 203 of the Department of Agriculture Organic Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 580a) through the U.S. Forest Service in connection with cooperative State forest fire control programs. The Federal Government retains title to such property.

(c)The property is furnished by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to State or county extension services or agricultural research cooperatives under 40 U.S.C. 483(d)(2)(E). The Federal Government retains title to such property.

(d)The property is not needed for donation under part 102-37 of this subchapter and is transferred under section 608 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (22 U.S.C. 2358). Title to such property transfers to the grantee.

(e)The property is scientific equipment transferred under section 11(e) of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Act of 1950, as amended (42 U.S.C. 1870(e)). GSA will limit such transfers to property within Federal Supply Classification (FSC) groups 12, 14, 43, 48, 58, 59, 65, 66, 67, 68 and 70. GSA may approve transfers without reimbursement for property under other FSC groups when NSF certifies the item is a component of or related to a piece of scientific equipment or is a difficult-to-acquire item needed for scientific research. Regardless of FSC, GSA will not approve transfers of common-use or general-purpose items without reimbursement. Title to such property transfers to the grantee.

(f)The property is furnished in connection with grants to Indian Tribes, as defined in section 3(c) of the Indian Financing Act (24 U.S.C. 1452(c)). Title passage is determined under the authorities of the administering agency.

102-36.110-36.110 Type of excess personal property furnished to project grantees.#

You may furnish to your project grantees any property, except for consumable items, determined to be necessary and usable for the purpose of the grant. Consumable items are generally not transferable to project grantees. GSA may approve transfers of excess consumable items when adequate justification for the transfer accompanies such requests. For this section, “consumable items” are items which are intended for one-time use and are actually consumed in that one time.

102-36.115-36.115 Excess personal property for cannibalization purposes by grantees.#

Subject to GSA approval, you may acquire excess personal property for cannibalization purposes. You may be required to provide a supporting statement that indicates disassembly of the item for secondary use has greater benefit than utilization of the item in its existing form and will result in cost savings to the Government.

102-36.120-36.120 Limit on excess personal property furnished to grantees.#

You must monitor transfers of excess personal property so the total original acquisition cost of property transferred does not exceed the dollar value of the grant. Any transfers above the grant amount must be approved by an official at an administrative level higher than the officer administering the grant.

102-36.125-36.125 Reporting requirements and exceptions.#

(a)Report all excess personal property to GSA on SF 120, regardless of the condition code, except as authorized in § 102-36.65 for direct transfers or as exempted in paragraph (b) of this section.

102-36.135-36.135 Physical custody.#

Generally, you retain physical custody of the excess personal property prior to its final disposition.

102-36.140-36.140 Competing requests.#

(a)GSA will generally approve transfers on a first-come, first-served basis. When more than one Federal agency requests the same item and the quantity available is not sufficient to meet the demand of all interested agencies, GSA will consider factors such as national defense requirements, emergency needs, avoiding the necessity of a new procurement, energy conservation, transportation costs, and retention of title in the Government. GSA will normally give preference to the agency that will retain title in the Government.

(b)Requests for property for the purpose of cannibalization will normally be subordinate to requests for use of the property in its existing form.

102-36.145-36.145 Disposal of excess personal property without GSA approval.#

You cannot dispose of excess personal property without GSA approval except under the following limited situations:

(a)Direct transfer procedures.

(b)Excess personal property not required to be reported to GSA.

(c)When such disposal is otherwise authorized by law.

102-36.60-36.60 Excess personal property removal.#

Normally, you have 10 days from the date the transfer order is completely approved to pick up the excess personal property for transfer. You are responsible for scheduling and coordinating the property removal with the holding agency and requesting additional time, if needed.

102-36.65-36.65 Direct transfers.#

You may obtain excess personal property directly from another Federal agency without GSA approval if it has not yet been reported to GSA. If the total acquisition cost does not exceed $10,000 per line item, you must complete an SF 122 and ensure it is signed by an authorized official of your agency. If the total acquisition cost exceeds $10,000 per line item, you must first receive approval from GSA, annotate the SF 122 with the name of the GSA approving official, and the date of the verbal approval. You must provide a copy of the completed SF 122 to GSA under both scenarios within 10 workdays from the date of transaction. Additionally, you are subject to the requirement to pay reimbursement for the excess personal property under a direct transfer when any of the conditions in § 102-36.40(b) apply.

102-36.70-36.70 Acquiring excess personal property for non-Federal activities.#

You may acquire and furnish excess personal property for use by your nonappropriated fund activities, contractors, cooperatives, and project grantees, and other eligible recipients when you have specific statutory authority to do so.

102-36.75-36.75 Responsibilities when acquiring excess personal property for use by a non-Federal recipient.#

Your authorized agency official must:

(a)Ensure the use of excess personal property by the non-Federal recipient is authorized and complies with applicable Federal regulations and agency guidelines.

(b)Determine that the use of excess personal property will reduce the costs to the Government and/or that it is in the Government's best interest to furnish excess personal property.

(f)Establish provisions and procedures for property accountability and disposition in situations when the Government retains title.

(g)Report annually to GSA excess personal property furnished to non-Federal recipients during the year (40 U.S.C. 529).

102-36.80-36.80 Nonappropriated fund activity and title retention.#

Title to excess personal property furnished to a nonappropriated fund activity remains with the Federal Government. You are accountable for establishing controls over the use of such excess property in accordance with § 102-36.10(d). When such property is no longer required by the nonappropriated fund activity, you must reuse or dispose of the property in accordance with this part.

102-36.85-36.85 Transfers of personal property owned by a nonappropriated fund activity.#

Property purchased by a nonappropriated fund activity is not Federal property. A nonappropriated fund activity has the option of making its privately owned personal property available for transfer to a Federal agency, usually with reimbursement. If such reimbursable personal property is not transferred to another Federal agency, it may be offered for sale. Such property is not available for donation.

102-36.90-36.90 Contractor restrictions.#

You may acquire and furnish excess personal property for use by your contractors subject to the criteria and restrictions in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR part 45). When such property is no longer needed by your contractors or your agency, you must dispose of the excess personal property in accordance with the provisions of this part.

102-36.95-36.95 Cooperative limitations.#

You must limit the total original acquisition cost of property transfers to the dollar value of the cooperative agreement. For any transfers more than such amount, you must ensure that an official of your agency at a level higher than the officer administering the agreement approves the transfer. The Federal Government retains title to such property, except when provided by specific statutory authority.

Subpart C · Subpart C—Acquiring Excess Personal Property for Non-Federal Recipients

102-36.150-36.150 Disposal process withdrawal.#

You may withdraw excess personal property from the disposal process to satisfy an internal agency requirement. Property that has been requested or approved for transfer, donation, or offered for sale by GSA may be returned to your control with proper justification and GSA approval. GSA will only grant such requests prior to the sales award, since an award is binding.

102-36.155-36.155 Reimbursement conditions.#

(a)You may require and retain reimbursement for the excess personal property from the recipient when:

(1)Your agency has the statutory authority to require and retain reimbursement for the property;

(2)You had originally acquired the property with funds not appropriated from the general fund of the Treasury or appropriated therefrom but by law reimbursable from assessment, tax, or other revenue. It is current executive branch policy that working capital fund property shall be transferred without reimbursement;

(3)You or the recipient is the U.S. Postal Service;

(4)You or the recipient is the DC Government; or

(5)You or the recipient is a wholly owned or mixed-ownership Government corporation.

(b)You may charge for direct costs you incurred incident to the transfer, such as packing, loading and shipping of the property. The recipient is responsible for such charges unless you waive the amount involved.

(c)You may not charge for overhead or administrative expenses or the costs for care and handling of the property pending disposition.

102-36.160-36.160 Reimbursement amount.#

(a)You may require reimbursement in an amount up to the fair market value of the property when the transfer involves property meeting conditions in § 102-36.155(a)(1) and (2).

(b)When you or the recipient is the DC Government or a wholly owned or mixed-ownership Government corporation, you may only require fair value reimbursement. Fair value reimbursement is 20% of the original acquisition cost for new or unused property, and 0 for other personal property. A higher fair value may be used if you and the recipient agency agree. Due to special circumstances or the nature of the property, you may use other criteria for establishing fair value if approved or directed by GSA. You must refer any disagreements to GSA.

102-36.165-36.165 Abandonment/destruction.#

You may abandon or destroy excess personal property when an authorized official of your agency has made a written determination that the property has no commercial value or the estimated cost of its continued care and handling would exceed the estimated proceeds from its sale. It must be approved by a reviewing official who is not directly accountable for the property. An item has no commercial value when it has neither utility nor monetary value as an item or scrap.

102-36.170-36.170 Abandonment/destruction authority restrictions.#

You must not abandon or destroy property in a manner which is detrimental or dangerous to public health, public safety, or national security. If you become aware of an interest from an entity in purchasing the property, you must implement sales procedures in lieu of abandonment/destruction. In lieu of abandonment/destruction, you may donate such excess personal property only to a public body without going through GSA. If you become aware of an interest from an eligible non-profit organization that is not a public body in acquiring the property, you must contact GSA and implement donation procedures in accordance with part 102-37 of this subchapter.

102-36.175-36.175 Excess aircraft disposal.#

(a)You must report to GSA all excess aircraft, regardless of condition or dollar value, and provide the following information on the SF 120:

(1)Manufacturer, date of manufacture, model, serial number.

(v)Aircraft was previously used for non-flight purposes and has been subjected to extensive disassembly and reassembly procedures for ground training, or repeated burning for fire-fighting training purposes.

(4)For military aircraft, indicate Category A, B, or C as designated by the Department of Defense (DoD), as follows: Table 1 to Paragraph (a)(4)

(b)When the designated transfer or donation recipient's intended use is for non-flight purposes, you must remove and return the data plate to GSA prior to releasing the aircraft to the authorized recipient. GSA will forward the data plates to the FAA.

102-36.180-36.180 Excess Flight Safety Critical Aircraft Parts (FSCAP) disposal.#

You may dispose of excess FSCAP if you determine that adequate documentation is available to allow transfer, donation, or sale of the part in accordance with part 102-33 of this subchapter. Otherwise, you must mutilate undocumented FSCAP that has no traceability to its original equipment manufacturer and dispose of it as scrap. When reporting excess FSCAP, annotate the manufacturer, date of manufacture, part number, serial number, and the appropriate Criticality Code on the SF 120. Ensure all available historical and maintenance records accompany the part at the time of issue.

102-36.185-36.185 FSCAP identification.#

Any aircraft part designated as FSCAP is assigned an alpha Criticality Code, and the code is annotated on the original transfer document when you acquire the part. You must perpetuate the appropriate FSCAP Criticality Code on all personal property records. You may contact the Federal agency or military service that originally owned the part for assistance in making this determination, or query DoD's Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) using the National Stock Number (NSN) for the part.

102-36.190-36.190 FSCAP Criticality Codes.#

Upon declaration by the President of an emergency or a major disaster, you may loan excess personal property to State and local governments, with or without compensation and prior to reporting it as excess to GSA, to alleviate suffering and damage resulting from any emergency or major disaster (Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121-5206) and Executive Order 12148 (3 CFR, 1979 Comp., p. 412), as amended). If the loan involves property that has already been reported excess to GSA, you may withdraw the item from the disposal process subject to approval by GSA. You may also withdraw excess personal property for use by your agency in providing assistance in disaster relief. You are still accountable for this property and your agency is responsible for developing agencywide procedures for recovery of such property.

102-36.205-36.205 Excess firearms disposal.#

Unless you have specific statutory authority to do otherwise, excess firearms may be transferred only to those Federal agencies authorized to acquire firearms for official use.

102-36.220-36.220 GSA assistance in foreign excess personal property disposal.#

You may request GSA's assistance in the screening of foreign excess personal property for possible re-use by eligible recipients within the U.S. GSA may, after consultation with you, designate property for return to the U.S. for transfer or donation purposes.

102-36.225-36.225 Foreign excess personal property transportation costs.#

When foreign excess property is to be returned to the U.S. for the purpose of an approved transfer or donation under the provisions of 40 U.S.C. 521-529, 549, and 551, the Federal agency, State agency, or donee receiving the property is responsible for all direct costs involved in the transfer, which include packing, handling, crating, and transportation.

102-36.230-36.230 Gift disposal.#

If your agency has gift retention authority, you may retain gifts from the public. Otherwise, you must report gifts you receive on an SF 120 to GSA.

102-36.235-36.235 Money or intangible personal property disposal.#

Report intangible personal property to GSA. You must not transfer or dispose of this property without prior approval of GSA. Per 31 U.S.C. 324, the Secretary of the Treasury will dispose of money and negotiable instruments such as bonds, notes, or other securities.

(b)You may use the gift for an authorized official purpose without reporting it to GSA when it is offered with no conditions or restrictions and your agency has gift retention authority. The property will then lose its identity as a gift and you must account for it in the same manner as Federal personal property acquired from authorized sources. You must report the property to GSA as excess when it is no longer needed.

(c)You must report the gift to GSA when the gift is offered with no conditions or restrictions and your agency does not have gift retention authority.

The code indicates the type and scope of DEMIL and/or export controls that must be accomplished, when required, before issue to any non-DoD activity. Refer to DoD Demilitarization and Trade Security Control Manual, DoD 4160.21-M-1 for additional guidance.

102-36.255-36.255 Excess shelf-life items.#

(a)When there are quantities on hand that would not be utilized by the expiration date and cannot be returned to the vendor for credit, you must report such expected overage as excess for possible transfer and disposal to ensure maximum use prior to deterioration.

(b)You need not report expired shelf-life items. You may dispose of property with expired shelf-life by abandonment/destruction in compliance with Federal, State, and local waste disposal and air and water pollution control standards.

102-36.260-36.260 Excess medical shelf-life items held for national emergency purposes.#

When the remaining shelf-life of any medical materials or supplies held for national emergency purposes is of too short a period to justify their continued retention, you should report such property excess for possible transfer and disposal. You must make such excess determinations at such time as to ensure that sufficient time remains to permit their use before their shelf-life expires and the items are unfit for human use.

102-36.265-36.265 Transferring or exchanging excess medical shelf-life items with other Federal agencies.#

You may transfer or exchange excess medical shelf-life items held for national emergency purposes with any other Federal agency for other medical materials or supplies, without GSA approval and without regard to part 102-39 of this subchapter. You and the transferee agency will agree to the terms and prices. You may credit any proceeds derived from such transactions to your agency's current applicable appropriation and use the funds only for the purchase of medical materials or supplies for national emergency purposes.

102-36.270-36.270 Excess vessels.#

(a)When you dispose of excess vessels, you must indicate on the SF 120 the following information:

(1)Whether the vessel has been inspected by the U.S. Coast Guard.

(2)Whether testing for hazardous materials has been done. And if so, the result of the testing, specifically the presence or absence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and asbestos and level of contamination.

(3)Whether hazardous materials clean-up is required, and when it will be accomplished by your agency.

(b)In accordance with 40 U.S.C. 548, the Federal Maritime Administration (FMA), Department of Transportation, is responsible for disposing of surplus vessels determined to be merchant vessels or capable of conversion to merchant use and weighing 1,500 gross tons or more. The SF 120 for such vessels shall be forwarded to GSA for submission to FMA.

(c)Disposal instructions regarding vessels in this part do not apply to battleships, cruisers, aircraft carriers, destroyers, or submarines.
