Section 121(c) of title 40, United States Code, authorizes the Administrator of General Services to prescribe regulations as he deems necessary to carry out his functions under subtitle I of title 40. Section 521 of title 40 authorizes the General Services Administration (GSA) to prescribe policies to promote the maximum use of excess Government personal property by executive agencies.
This part covers the acquisition, transfer, and disposal, by executive agencies, of excess personal property located in the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
All executive agencies must comply with the provisions of this part. The legislative and judicial branches are encouraged to report and transfer excess personal property and fill their personal property requirements from excess in accordance with these provisions.
Use of pronouns "we", "you", and their variants throughout this part refer to the agency.
See §§102-2.60 through 102-2.110 of this chapter to request a deviation from the requirements of this part.
Personal property is excess when it is no longer needed by the activities within your agency to carry out the functions of official programs, as determined by the agency head or designee.
(a) You must ensure personal property not needed by your activity is offered for use elsewhere within your agency. If the property is no longer needed by any activity within your agency, your agency declares the property excess and reports it to GSA for possible transfer to eligible recipients, including federal agencies for direct use or for use by their contractors, project grantees, or cooperative agreement recipients. All executive agencies must, to the maximum extent practicable, fill requirements for personal property by using existing agency property or by obtaining excess property from other federal agencies in lieu of new procurements.
(b) If GSA determines that there are no federal requirements for your excess personal property, it becomes surplus property and is available for donation to state and local public agencies and other eligible non-federal activities. Title 40 of the United States Code requires that surplus personal property be distributed to eligible recipients by an agency established by each State for this purpose, the State Agency for Surplus Property.
(c) Surplus personal property not selected for donation is offered for sale to the public by competitive offerings such as sealed bid sales, spot bid sales, or auctions. You may conduct or contract for the sale of your surplus personal property, or have GSA or another executive agency conduct the sale on behalf of your agency in accordance with part 102-38 of this chapter. You must inform GSA at the time the property is reported as excess if you do not want GSA to conduct the sale for you.

(2) Substantial involvement is anticipated between the federal agency and the cooperative during the performance of the agreed upon activity.
(3) The cooperative is a state or local government entity or any person or organization authorized to receive federal assistance or procurement contracts.

Property purchased by a non-appropriated fund activity is not federal property. A non-appropriated 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.
Yes, 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.
Yes, you must limit the total dollar amount of property transfers (in terms of original acquisition cost) to the dollar value of the cooperative agreement. For any transfers in excess of 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.
(d) You pay 25 percent of the original acquisition cost of the excess personal property, such funds to be deposited into the miscellaneous receipts fund of the U.S. Treasury. Exceptions to paying this 25 percent are provided in §102-36.190. Title to property vests in the grantee when your agency pays 25 percent of the original acquisition cost.
(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.
(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.
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 the purpose of this section, "consumable items" are items which are intended for one-time use and are actually consumed in that one time; e.g., drugs, medicines, surgical dressings, cleaning and preserving materials, and fuels.
Yes, 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 cost savings to the government will result.
Yes, you must monitor transfers of excess personal property so the total dollar amount of property transferred (in original acquisition cost) 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.
You must report excess personal property to promote reuse by the government to enable federal agencies to benefit from the continued use of property already paid for with taxpayers' money, thus minimizing new procurement costs. Reporting excess personal property to GSA helps assure that the information on available excess personal property is accessible and disseminated to the widest range of reuse customers.
(b) Submit a paper SF 120 to the regional GSA Personal Property Management office.
(a) Generally yes, regardless of the condition code, except as authorized in §102-36.145 for direct transfers or as exempted in paragraph (b) of this section. Report all excess personal property, including excess personal property to which the government holds title but is in the custody of your contractors, cooperatives, or project grantees.
(1) Property determined appropriate for abandonment/destruction (see §102-36.305).
(2) Non-appropriated fund property (see §102-36.165).
(3) Foreign excess personal property (see §102-36.380).

(6) Trading stamps and bonus goods.
(9) Nuclear Regulatory Commission-controlled materials.
(10) Property dangerous to public health and safety.
(11) Classified items or property determined to be sensitive for reasons of national security.
(c) Refer to part 101-42 of this title for additional guidance on the disposition of classes of property under paragraphs (b)(7) through (b)(11) of this section.
Yes, you must report excess related personal property to the Office of Real Property, GSA, in accordance with part 102-75 of this chapter.
(a) You must direct electronic submissions of excess personal property to GSAXcess® maintained by the Property Management Division (FBP), GSA, Washington, DC 20406.
(b) For paper submissions, you must send the SF 120 to the regional GSA Personal Property Management office for the region in which the property is located. For the categories of property listed in §102-36.125(b), forward the SF 120 to the corresponding regions.
(1) The reporting agency and the property location.
(2) A report number (6-digit activity address code and 4-digit Julian date).
(3) 4-digit Federal Supply Class (use National Stock Number whenever available).
(4) Description of item, in sufficient detail.
(5) Quantity and unit of issue.
(6) Disposal Condition Code (see §102-36.240).
(7) Original acquisition cost per unit and total cost (use estimate if original cost not available).
(8) Manufacturer, date of manufacture, part and serial number, when required by GSA.
(1) Major parts/components that are missing.
(2) If repairs are needed, the type of repairs.
(3) Special requirements for handling, storage, or transportation.
(4) The required date of removal due to moving or space restrictions.
(5) If reimbursement is required, the authority under which the reimbursement is requested, the amount of reimbursement and the appropriate fund code to which money is to be deposited.
(6) If you will conduct the sale of personal property that is not transferred or donated.
1 New. Property which is in new condition or unused condition and can be used immediately without modifications or repairs.
4 Usable. Property which shows some wear, but can be used without significant repair.
7 Repairable. Property which is unusable in its current condition but can be economically repaired.
X Salvage. Property which has value in excess of its basic material content, but repair or rehabilitation is impractical and/or uneconomical.
S Scrap. Property which has no value except for its basic material content.
Yes, you are accountable for the excess personal property until the time it is picked up by the designated recipient or its agent. You are responsible for all care and handling charges while the excess personal property is going through the screening and disposal process.
Generally you retain physical custody of the excess personal property prior to its final disposition. Very rarely GSA may consider accepting physical custody of excess personal property. Under special circumstances, GSA may take custody or may direct the transfer of partial or total custody to other executive agencies, with their consent.
Contact your regional GSA Personal Property Management office for any existing interagency agreements that would allow you to turn in excess personal property to a federal facility. You are responsible for any turn in costs and all costs related to transporting the excess personal property to these facilities.
(a) Provide complete and accurate property descriptions and condition codes on the report of excess to facilitate the selection of usable property by potential users.
(b) Ensure that any available operating manual, parts list, diagram, maintenance log, or other instructional publication is made available with the property at the time of transfer.
(c) Advise the designated recipient of any special requirements for dismantling, shipping/transportation.
(d) When the excess personal property is located at a facility due to be closed, provide advance notice of the scheduled date of closing, and ensure there is sufficient time for screening and removal of property.
(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.
Prior to final disposition, GSA will consider requests from authorized federal activities for excess personal property undergoing donation screening or in the sales process. Federal transfers may be authorized prior to removal of the property under a donation or sales action.
(a) You may transfer to another federal agency excess personal property that has not yet been reported to GSA, under direct transfer procedures contained in §102-36.145.
(b) You may dispose of excess personal property that is not required to be reported to GSA (see §102-36.220(b)).
(c) You may dispose of excess personal property without going through GSA when such disposal is authorized by law.
Yes, you may withdraw excess personal property from the disposal process, but only with the approval of GSA and to satisfy an internal agency requirement. Property that has been approved for transfer or donation or offered for sale by GSA may be returned to your control with proper justification.
(1) Your agency has the statutory authority to require and retain reimbursement for the property.
(2) You are transferring the property under the exchange/sale authority.
(3) 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.
(4) You or the recipient is the U.S. Postal Service.
(5) You or the recipient is the DC Government.
(6) 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.
(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 §102-36.285(a)(1) through (a)(4).
(b) When you or the recipient is the DC Government or a wholly owned or mixed-ownership Government corporation (§102-36.285(a)(5) and (a)(6)), you may only require fair value reimbursement. Fair value reimbursement is 20 percent of the original acquisition cost for new or unused property (i.e., condition code 1), and zero percent 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 the appropriate regional GSA Personal Property Management office.
Yes, you must report annually to GSA personal property furnished in any manner in that year to any non-federal recipients, with respect to property obtained as excess or as property determined to be no longer required for the purposes of the appropriation from which it was purchased.
(a) Submit your annual report of personal property furnished to non-federal recipients, in letter form, to GSA, Office of Travel, Transportation, and Asset Management (MT), 1800 F Street, NW, Washington, DC 20405, within 90 calendar days after the close of each fiscal year. The report must cover personal property disposed during the fiscal year in all areas within the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Negative reports are required.
(1) Names of the non-federal recipients.
(2) Status of the recipients (contractor, cooperative, project grantee, etc.).
(3) Total original acquisition cost of excess personal property furnished to each type of recipient, by type of property (two-digit FSC groups).
Yes, you may abandon or destroy excess personal property when you have 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. An item has no commercial value when it has neither utility nor monetary value (either as an item or as scrap).
To abandon or destroy excess personal property, an authorized official of your agency makes a written finding that must be approved by a reviewing official who is not directly accountable for the property.
(a) You must not abandon or destroy property in a manner which is detrimental or dangerous to public health or safety. Additional guidelines for the abandonment/destruction of hazardous materials are prescribed in part 101-42 of this title.
(b) 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. A public body is any department, agency, special purpose district, or other instrumentality of a state or local government; any Indian tribe; or any agency of the federal government. If you become aware of an interest from an eligible non-profit organization (see part 102-37 of this chapter) that is not a public body in acquiring the property, you must contact the regional GSA Personal Property Management office and implement donation procedures in accordance with part 102-37 of this chapter.
Except as provided in §102-36.330, you must provide public notice of intent to abandon or destroy excess personal property, in a format and timeframe specified by your agency regulations (such as publishing a notice in a local newspaper, posting of signs in common use facilities available to the public, or providing bulletins on your website through the internet). You must also include in the notice an offer to sell in accordance with part 102-38 of this chapter.
(c) When the original acquisition cost of the item (estimated if unknown) is less than $500.
Yes, you must comply with the additional provisions in this subpart when disposing of the types of personal property listed in this subpart.
(1) Manufacturer, date of manufacture, model, serial number.
(2) Major components missing from the aircraft, such as engines, electronics.
(v) Aircraft was previously used for non-flight purposes (i.e., ground training or static display), and has been subjected to extensive disassembly and re-assembly procedures for ground training, or repeated burning for fire-fighting training purposes.
A Aircraft authorized for sale and exchange for commercial use.
B Aircraft previously used for ground instruction and/or static display.
C Aircraft that are combat configured as determined by DOD.
(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 Property Management Branch (9FBP), San Francisco, CA 94102-3434 prior to releasing the aircraft to the authorized recipient. GSA will forward the data plates to FAA.
(c) You must also submit a report of the final disposition of the aircraft to the Federal Aviation Interactive Reporting System (FAIRS) maintained by the Office of Travel, Transportation, and Asset Management (MT), GSA, 1800 F Street, NW, Washington, DC 20405. For additional instructions on reporting to FAIRS, see part 102-33 of this chapter.
Yes, you may dispose of excess FSCAP, but first you must determine whether the documentation available is adequate to allow transfer, donation, or sale of the part in accordance with part 102-33, subpart D, of this chapter. 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, and ensure that all available historical and maintenance records accompany the part at the time of issue.
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. For assistance in subscribing to the FLIS service contact the FedLog Consumer Support Office, 800-351-4381.
E FSCAP specially designed to be or selected as being nuclear hardened.
F Flight Safety Critical Aircraft Part.
When disposing of life-limited aircraft parts that have no FSCAP designation, you must ensure that tags and labels, historical data, and maintenance records accompany the part on any transfers, donations or sales. For additional information regarding the disposal of life-limited parts with or without tags or documentation, refer to part 102-33 of this chapter.
Yes, under 40 U.S.C. 555, when the canine is no longer needed for law enforcement duties, you may donate the canine to an individual who has experience handling canines in the performance of those official duties.
Yes, 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.
Yes, 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. GSA may donate certain classes of surplus firearms to State and local government activities whose primary function is the enforcement of applicable federal, state, and/or local laws and whose compensated law enforcement officers have the authority to apprehend and arrest. Firearms not transferred or donated must be destroyed and sold as scrap. For additional guidance on the disposition of firearms refer to part 101-42 of this title.
Your agency is responsible for disposing of your foreign excess personal property, as provided by chapter 7 of title 40 of the United States Code.
(a) Determine whether it is in the interest of the U.S. Government to return foreign excess personal property to the U.S. for further re-use or to dispose of the property overseas.
(b) Ensure that any disposal of property overseas conforms to the foreign policy of the United States and the terms and conditions of any applicable Host Nation Agreement.
(c) Ensure that, when foreign excess personal property is donated or sold overseas, donation/sales conditions include a requirement for compliance with U.S. Department of Commerce and Department of Agriculture regulations when transporting any personal property back to the U.S.
(d) Inform the U.S. State Department of any disposal of property to any foreign governments or entities.
(e) Abandon, destroy or donate such property when you determine that it has no commercial value or the estimated cost of care and handling would exceed the estimated proceeds from its sale, in accordance with 40 U.S.C. 527. Abandonment, destruction or donation actions must also comply with the laws of the country in which the property is located.
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 United States for transfer or donation purposes.
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.
If your agency has gift retention authority, you may retain gifts from the public. Otherwise, you must report gifts you receive on a SF 120 to GSA. You must report gifts received from a foreign government in accordance with part 102-42 of this chapter.
Report intangible personal property to GSA, Personal Property Management Division (FBP), Washington, DC 20406. You must not transfer or dispose of this property without prior approval of GSA. The Secretary of the Treasury will dispose of money and negotiable instruments such as bonds, notes, or other securities under the authority of 31 U.S.C. 324.
(a) When the gift is offered with the condition that the property be sold and the proceeds used to reduce the public debt, report the gift to the regional GSA Personal Property Management office in which the property is located. GSA will convert the gift to money upon acceptance and deposit the proceeds into a special account of the U.S. Treasury.
(b) When the gift is offered with no conditions or restrictions, and your agency has gift retention authority, you may use the gift for an authorized official purpose without reporting to GSA. 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. When the property is no longer needed, you must report it as excess personal property to GSA.
(c) When the gift is offered with no conditions or restrictions, but your agency does not have gift retention authority, you must report it to the regional GSA Personal Property Management office. GSA will offer the property for screening for possible transfer to a federal agency or convert the gift to money and deposit the funds with U.S. Treasury. If your agency is interested in keeping the gift for an official purpose, you must annotate your interest on the SF 120 and also submit a SF 122.
Report foreign gifts on a SF 120 to GSA, Property Management Division (FBP), Washington, DC 20406, for possible transfer, donation or sale in accordance with the provisions of part 102-42 of this chapter.
Yes, but only in accordance with part 101-42 of this title. When reporting excess hazardous property to GSA, certify on the SF 120 that the property has been packaged and labeled as required. Annotate any special requirements for handling, storage, or use, and provide a description of the actual or potential hazard.
You may dispose of excess MLIs/CCLIs only when you comply with the additional disposal and demilitarization (DEMIL) requirements contained in part 101-42 of this title. MLIs may require demilitarization when issued to any non-DoD entity, and will require appropriate licensing when exported from the U.S. CCLIs usually require export licensing when transported from the U.S.
You identify MLIs/CCLIs requiring demilitarization by the demilitarization code that is assigned to each MLI or CCLI. The code indicates the type and scope of demilitarization and/or export controls that must be accomplished, when required, before issue to any non-DOD activity. For a listing of the codes and additional guidance on DEMIL procedures see DOD Demilitarization and Trade Security Control Manual, DOD 4160.21-M-1.
Yes, in accordance with 44 U.S.C. 312, you must submit reports of excess printing and binding machinery, equipment, materials, and supplies to the Public Printer, Government Printing Office (GPO), Customer Service Manager, 732 North Capitol Street, NW, Washington, DC 20401. If GPO has no requirement for the property, you must then submit the report to GSA.
Yes, when reporting excess personal property which was processed, produced, or donated by the American National Red Cross, note "RED CROSS PROPERTY" on the SF 120 or report document. GSA will offer to return this property to the Red Cross if no other federal agency has a need for it. If the Red Cross has no requirement, the property continues in the disposal process and is available for donation.
(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 accordance with §102-36.305 and in compliance with Federal, State, and local waste disposal and air and water pollution control standards.
You must identify the property as shelf-life items by "SL", indicate the expiration date, whether the date is the original or an extended date, and if the date is further extendable. GSA may adjust the screening period based on re-use potential and the remaining useful shelf life.
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. You must identify such items with "MSL" and the expiration date, and indicate any specialized storage requirements.
Yes, 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 chapter. 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.
(1) Whether the vessel has been inspected by the 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 PCB's 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.
(a) The Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980, as amended (15 U.S.C. 3710(i)), authorizes federal agencies to transfer excess education-related federal equipment to educational institutions or nonprofit organizations for educational and research activities. Executive Order 12999 (3 CFR, 1996 Comp., p. 180) requires, to the extent permitted by law and where appropriate, the transfer of computer equipment for use by schools or nonprofit organizations.
(b) Each federal agency is required to identify a point of contact within the agency to assist eligible recipients, and to publicize the availability of such property to eligible communities. Excess education-related equipment may be transferred directly under established agency procedures, or reported to GSA as excess for subsequent transfer to potential eligible recipients as appropriate. You must include transfers under this authority in the annual Non-federal Recipients Report (See §102-36.295) to GSA.
(c) The "Computers for Learning" website has been developed to streamline the transfer of excess and surplus Federal computer equipment to schools and nonprofit educational organizations. For additional information about this program access the "Computers for Learning" website, http://www.computers.fed.gov.

Is it ever okay for a man to dress as Caitlyn Jenner for Halloween?
By Rose Dommu
In July of 2015, Caitlyn Jenner graced the cover of Vanity Fair, sharing her newly feminine presentation with the world. One month later, a Caitlyn Jenner Halloween costume hit the Internet, and over a year later people are still asking the question: Is it ever okay for a man to dress as Caitlyn Jenner for Halloween?
The short, medium and long answers are: No. Absolutely not. It's outrageous that this is a still a question, and says so much about how far we still have to go when it comes to understanding and respecting trans identities as a culture.
BuzzFeed reported on the costume in an August 2015 article. Manufacturer Spirit Halloween, said their costume was meant to "celebrate" Jenner. But really what it was meant to do was capitalize on Jenner's incredibly public and brave transition.
"Call Me Caitlyn" Halloween costumeSource: Spirit Halloween
Caitlyn Jenner isn't perfect, in fact she's a divisive figure within the trans community. She's incredibly privileged; she's a Republican who supported Ted Cruz; she's a Kardashian. Her reality show I Am Cait highlighted these flaws, and yet she also used it as a vehicle for trans folks like Jenny Boylan and Chandi Moore to educate Jenner (and her mainstream audience) on the issues facing the trans community.
Jenner may be the most famous trans person alive, but her gender is still not a costume. When a man dresses up as Caitlyn Jenner for Halloween, the implicit joke is that Jenner herself is merely a man in a costume, playing at being a woman.
Trans folks are doing the incredibly taxing labor of educating cisgender folks — people who identify with the gender they were assigned at birth — about the vicious cycle of gender presentation. Cisgender society forces trans people to conform to cisnormative standards of beauty in order to be deemed acceptable, and then criticizes them for that very presentation, calling them men in dresses. The Caitlyn Jenner Halloween costume is a perfect example of this.
While gender itself might be a costume, an idea gender nonconforming folks are pioneering, someone's personal gender identity and expression are not.
While gender itself might be a costume, an idea gender nonconforming folks are pioneering, someone's personal gender identity and expression are not. It's fine for a woman to dress up as Jenner, if it's in the spirit of celebrating her rather than mocking her. However, a man dressing up as Caitlyn Jenner for Halloween is transphobic. Being trans is an identity, not a costume.
If you're unimaginative enough that you can't come up with a better, less offensive Halloween costume, just be a sexy cat. That's not hurting anyone.

Renting a car is not just for people who do not own a car, it is more popular among car owners than you may realize. The car rental business is booming all over the world. Renting a car is much cheaper than owning one when you only need one on occasion. Many car owners find car rental is a good way to save their own vehicle from wear and tear when taking long trips or trips into a big city where the chances of damage or theft are a possibility. Renting a car means gassing it up and driving it. You don't need to worry about repairs or routine maintenance.
Renting a car is easy as long as you are a licensed driver and have a credit card. Most car rental companies will not rent a car without a valid credit card. Rental companies are very competitive so shop around and get quotes before deciding on which one to rent from. Check websites like Groupon for coupons and ask for promotions when calling. Most companies are always running at least one promotional offer. You can also find rental car deals through travel websites.

When planning to move to another part of the country or even to a new area of the world, it is important to ensure that you enjoy the area before making the big switch. One way that potential home buyers can see if they like an area is by vacationing there. A vacation will enable you to see what there is to do around the town, what the neighborhoods are like, if people are friendly and much more.
Moving is a big commitment that should not be taken lightly. Many of those who choose to move are not completely sure where they would like to re-locate to. If finding a job where you are moving is no issue, you may be able to look into several different locations that you have always dreamed of moving to.
Choosing a place to stay on vacation can actually set the stage for the entire trip. That's why when planning a magical getaway it's important to decide ahead of time what type of accomodations are desired. There are several styles to choose from, so what it comes down to is which will accommodate every traveler best.
Hotels are a prime choice for most travelers. Typically they are a high quality and rest in prime locations like near the beach or a golf course. Hotels are perfect for those staying in one spot the entire vacation and often have great amenities like swimming, tennis, exercise rooms, restaurants, spas and more. Some may even have entertainment programs for adults as well as children with planned activities. Most hotels offer one room with one or two beds, and a bathroom.


Corby, T. and Williams, D.
I Stood Up, was a practice-based research project developed collaboratively between an interdisciplinary team of artists and designers based in London, and Delhi and Ahmedabad, India between September 2014 and April 2015.
The research team of Corby (visual arts), Williams (fashion design and sustainability), Sheth (exhibition and spatial design), and Dhar (performance and design) was convened at the National Institute of Design (NID) in Ahmedabad in early 2014 supported by the British Council and the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council. Our project hypothesized a role for interdisciplinary design practices to act as a platform for public articulation of 'real world' problems in urban settings with a particular focus on the often connected problems of environmental degradation and gendered violence. Completed work consisted of workshop situations, installations, graphical posters and T-shirt designs. Exhibitions and events took place in Ahmedabad, New Delhi and London.
