When practicable, agencies shall use excess personal property as the first source of supply for agency and cost-reimbursement contractor requirements. Agency personnel shall make positive efforts to satisfy agency requirements by obtaining and using excess personal property (including that suitable for adaptation or substitution) before initiating a contract action.

Information regarding the availability of excess personal property can be obtained through—-

(a) Reviewing and requesting available excess personal property in GSAXcess® (see https://gsaxcess.gov); and

(b) Personal contact with GSA or the activity holding the property.

GSA will assist agencies in meeting their requirements for supplies of the types excepted from reporting as excess by the Federal Management Regulations (41 CFR 102-36.220). Federal agencies requiring such supplies should contact the appropriate GSA Personal Property Management office. Visit www.gsa.gov/ppmo for contact information.
