Subpart G—Disposal of Motor Vehicles

§ 102-34.310   How do we dispose of a motor vehicle in any State, Commonwealth, territory or possession of the United States, or the District of Columbia?

After meeting the replacement standards under subpart D of this part, you may dispose of a Government-owned motor vehicle by transferring the motor vehicle title, or manufacturer's Certificate of Origin, to the new owner. Detailed instructions on the disposal process are in parts 102–38 and 101–39 of this subchapter B.

[64 FR 59593, Nov. 2, 1999, as amended at 71 FR 27639, May 12, 2006]

§ 102-34.315   What forms do we use to transfer ownership when selling a motor vehicle?

Use the following forms to transfer ownership:

(a) Standard Form 97, The United States Government Certificate to Obtain Title to a Motor Vehicle, if both of the following apply:

(1) The motor vehicle will be retitled by a State, Commonwealth, territory or possession of the United States or the District of Columbia; and

(2) The purchaser intends to operate the motor vehicle on highways.

Note to §102–34.315(a)(2): Do not use Standard Form (SF) 97 if the Government-owned motor vehicle is either not designed or not legal for operation on highways. Examples are construction equipment, farm machinery, and certain military-design motor vehicles and motor vehicles that are damaged beyond repair in crashes and intended to be sold as salvage only. Instead, use an appropriate bill of sale or award document. Examples are Optional Form 16, Sales Slip-Sale of Government Personal Property, and Standard Form 114, Sale of Government Property—Bid and Award.

(b) Standard Form 97 is optional in foreign countries because foreign governments may require the use of other forms.

Note to §102–34.315: The original Standard Form 97 is printed on secure paper to identify readily any attempt to alter the form. The form is also pre-numbered to prevent duplicates. State motor vehicle agencies may reject certificates showing erasures or strikeovers.

§ 102-34.320   How do we distribute the completed Standard Form 97?

Standard Form 97 is a 4-part set printed on continuous-feed paper. Distribute the form as follows:

(a) Original SF 97 to the purchaser or donee.

(b) One copy to the owning agency.

(c) One copy to the contracting officer making the sale or transfer of the motor vehicle.

(d) One copy under owning-agency directives.
