41 C.F.R. Subpart D—State Agency for Surplus Property (SASP)
Title 41 - Public Contracts and Property Management
As a SASP, your responsibilities in the donation of surplus property are to: (a) Determine whether or not an entity seeking to obtain surplus property is eligible for donation as a: (1) Public agency; (2) Nonprofit educational or public health institution; or (3) Program for older individuals. (b) Distribute surplus property fairly, equitably, and promptly to eligible donees in your State based on their relative needs and resources, and ability to use the property, and as provided in your State plan of operation. (c) Enforce compliance with the terms and conditions imposed on donated property. In order to receive transfers of surplus property, a SASP must: (a) Have a GSA-approved State plan of operation; and (b) Provide the certifications and agreements as set forth in §§102–37.200 and 102–37.205. A State plan of operation is a document developed under State law and approved by GSA in which the State sets forth a plan for the management and administration of the SASP in the donation of property. The State legislature must develop the plan. The chief executive officer of the State must submit the plan to the Administrator of General Services for acceptance and certify that the SASP is authorized to: (a) Acquire and distribute property to eligible donees in the State; (b) Enter into cooperative agreements; and (c) Undertake other actions and provide other assurances as are required by 40 U.S.C. 549(e) and set forth in the plan. [67 FR 2584, Jan. 18, 2002, as amended at 71 FR 23868, Apr. 25, 2006] The State legislature must ensure the plan conforms to the provisions of 40 U.S.C. 549(e) and includes the information and assurances set forth in Appendix B of this part. It may also include in the plan other provisions not inconsistent with the purposes of title 40 of the United States Code and the requirements of this part. [67 FR 2584, Jan. 18, 2002, as amended at 71 FR 23868, Apr. 25, 2006] The plan takes effect on the date GSA notifies the chief executive officer of the State that the plan is approved. Yes, GSA must approve amendments or modifications to the plan. Yes, proposed plans and major amendments to existing plans require general notice to the public for comment. A State must publish a general notice of the plan or amendment at least 60 calendar days in advance of filing the proposal with GSA and provide interested parties at least 30 calendar days to submit comments before filing the proposal. If a SASP does not operate in accordance with its plan, GSA may withhold allocation and transfer of surplus property until the nonconformance is corrected.

(b) No person with supervisory or managerial duties in your State's donation program is debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participating in the donation program.
(c) The property is usable and needed within the State by:
(1) A public agency for one or more public purposes.
(2) An eligible nonprofit organization or institution which is exempt from taxation under section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 501), for the purpose of education or public health (including research for any such purpose).
(3) An eligible nonprofit activity for programs for older individuals.
(4) A service educational activity (SEA), for DOD-generated property only.
(d) When property is picked up by, or shipped to, your SASP, you have adequate and available funds, facilities, and personnel to provide accountability, warehousing, proper maintenance, and distribution of the property.
(e) When property is distributed by your SASP to a donee, or when delivery is made directly from a holding agency to a donee pursuant to a State distribution document, you have determined that the donee acquiring the property is eligible within the meaning of the Property Act and GSA regulations, and that the property is usable and needed by the donee.
[67 FR 2584, Jan. 18, 2002, as amended at 71 FR 23868, Apr. 25, 2006]
§ 102-37.205 What agreements must a SASP make?
With respect to surplus property picked up by or shipped to your SASP, you must agree to the following:
(a) You will make prompt statewide distribution of such property, on a fair and equitable basis, to donees eligible to acquire property under 40 U.S.C. 549 and GSA regulations. You will distribute property only after such eligible donees have properly executed the appropriate certifications and agreements established by your SASP and/or GSA.
(b) Title to the property remains in the United States Government although you have taken possession of it. Conditional title to the property will pass to the eligible donee when the donee executes the required certifications and agreements and takes possession of the property.
(c) You will:
(1) Promptly pay the cost of care, handling, and shipping incident to taking possession of the property.
(2) During the time that title remains in the United States Government, be responsible as a bailee for the property from the time it is released to you or to the transportation agent you have designated.
(3) In the event of any loss of or damage to any or all of the property during transportation or storage at a place other than a place under your control, take the necessary action to obtain restitution (fair market value) for the Government. In the event of loss or damage due to negligence or willful misconduct on your part, repair, replace, or pay to the GSA the fair market value of any such property, or take such other action as the GSA may direct.
(d) You may retain property to perform your donation program functions, but only when authorized by GSA in accordance with the provisions of a cooperative agreement entered into with GSA.
(e) When acting under an interstate cooperative distribution agreement (see §102–37.335) as an agent and authorized representative of an adjacent State, you will:
(1) Make the certifications and agreements required in §102–37.200 and this section on behalf of the adjacent SASP.
(2) Require the donee to execute the distribution documents of the State in which the donee is located.
(3) Forward copies of the distribution documents to the corresponding SASP.
(f) You will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or handicap in the distribution of property, and will comply with GSA regulations on nondiscrimination as set forth in parts 101–4, subparts 101–6.2, and 101–8.3 of this title.
(g) You will not seek to hold the United States Government liable for consequential or incidental damages or the personal injuries, disabilities, or death to any person arising from the transfer, donation, use, processing, or final disposition of this property. The Government's liability in any event is limited in scope to that provided for by the Federal Tort Claims Act (28 U.S.C. 2671, et seq.).

§ 102-37.225 What information or documentation must a SASP provide when requesting a surplus aircraft or vessel?
(a) For each SF 123 that you submit to GSA for transfer of a surplus aircraft or vessel covered by §102–37.455 include:
(1) A letter of intent, signed and dated by the authorized representative of the proposed donee setting forth a detailed plan of utilization for the property (see §102–37.230 for information a donee has to include in the letter of intent); and
(2) A letter, signed and dated by you, confirming and certifying the applicant's eligibility and containing an evaluation of the applicant's ability to use the aircraft or vessel for the purpose stated in its letter of intent and any other supplemental information concerning the needs of the donee which supports making the allocation.
(b) For each SF 123 that GSA approves, you must include:
(1) Your distribution document, signed and dated by the authorized donee representative; and
(2) A conditional transfer document, signed by you and the intended donee, and containing the special terms and conditions prescribed by GSA.
§ 102-37.230 What must a letter of intent for obtaining surplus aircraft or vessels include?
A letter of intent for obtaining surplus aircraft or vessels must provide:
(a) A description of the aircraft or vessel requested. If the item is an aircraft, the description must include the manufacturer, date of manufacture, model, and serial number. If the item is a vessel, it must include the type, name, class, size, displacement, length, beam, draft, lift capacity, and the hull or registry number, if known;
(b) A detailed description of the donee's program and the number and types of aircraft or vessels it currently owns;
(c) A detailed description of how the aircraft or vessel will be used, its purpose, how often and for how long. If an aircraft is requested for flight purposes, the donee must specify a source of pilot(s) and where the aircraft will be housed. If an aircraft is requested for cannibalization, the donee must provide details of the cannibalization process (time to complete the cannibalization process, how recovered parts are to be used, method of accounting for usable parts, disposition of unsalvageable parts, etc.) If a vessel is requested for waterway purposes, the donee must specify a source of pilot(s) and where the vessel will be docked. If a vessel is requested for permanent docking on water or land, the donee must provide details of the process, including the time to complete the process; and
(d) Any supplemental information (such as geographical area and population served, number of students enrolled in educational programs, etc.) supporting the donee's need for the aircraft or vessel.
§ 102-37.235 What type of information must a SASP provide when requesting surplus property for cannibalization?
When a donee wants surplus property to cannibalize, include the following statement on the SF 123: “Line Item Number(s)___requested for cannibalization.”. In addition to including this statement, provide a detailed justification concerning the need for the components or accessories and an explanation of the effect removal will have on the item. GSA will approve requests for cannibalization only when it is clear from the justification that disassembly of the item for use of its component parts will provide greater potential benefit than use of the item in its existing form.
§ 102-37.240 How must a transfer request for surplus firearms be justified?
To justify a transfer request for surplus firearms, the requesting SASP must obtain and submit to GSA a letter of intent from the intended donee that provides:

(b) The number of compensated officers with the power to apprehend and to arrest;
(c) A description of the firearm(s) requested;
(d) Details on the planned use of the firearm(s); and

§ 102-37.250 What actions must a SASP take when it learns of damage to or loss of surplus property in its custody?
If you learn that surplus property in your custody has been damaged or lost, you must always notify GSA and notify the appropriate law enforcement officials if a crime has been committed.
§ 102-37.255 Must a SASP insure surplus property against loss or damage?
No, you are not required to carry insurance on Federal surplus property in your custody. However, if you elect to carry insurance and the insured property is lost or damaged, you must submit a check made payable to GSA for any insurance proceeds received in excess of your actual costs of acquiring and rehabilitating the property prior to its loss, damage, or destruction.
Distribution of Property
§ 102-37.260 How must a SASP document the distribution of surplus property?
All SASPs must document the distribution of Federal surplus property on forms that are prenumbered, provide for donees to indicate the primary purposes for which they are acquiring property, and include the:
(a) Certifications and agreements in §§102–37.200 and 102–37.205; and
(b) Period of restriction during which the donee must use the property for the purpose for which it was acquired.
§ 102-37.265 May a SASP distribute surplus property to eligible donees of another State?
Yes, you may distribute surplus property to eligible donees of another State, if you and the other SASP determine that such an arrangement will be of mutual benefit to you and the donees concerned. Where such determinations are made, an interstate distribution cooperative agreement must be prepared as prescribed in §102–37.335 and submitted to the appropriate GSA regional office for approval. When acting under an interstate distribution cooperative agreement, you must:
(a) Require the donee recipient to execute the distribution documents of its home SASP; and
(b) Forward copies of executed distribution documents to the donee's home SASP.
§ 102-37.270 May a SASP retain surplus property for its own use?
Yes, you can retain surplus property for use in operating the donation program, but only if you have a cooperative agreement with GSA that allows you to do so. You must obtain prior GSA approval before using any surplus property in the operation of the SASP. Make your needs known by submitting a listing of needed property to the appropriate GSA regional office for approval. GSA will review the list to ensure that it is of the type and quantity of property that is reasonably needed and useful in performing SASP operations. GSA will notify you within 30 calendar days whether you may retain the property for use in your operations. Title to any surplus property GSA approves for your retention will vest in your SASP. You must maintain separate records for such property.
Service and Handling Charges
§ 102-37.275 May a SASP accept personal checks and non-official payment methods in payment of service charges?
No, service charge payments must readily identify the donee institution as the payer (or the name of the parent organization when that organization pays the operational expenses of the donee). Personal checks, personal cashier checks, personal money orders, and personal credit cards are not acceptable.
§ 102-37.280 How may a SASP use service charge funds?
Funds accumulated from service charges may be deposited, invested, or used in accordance with State law to:
(a) Cover direct and reasonable indirect costs of operating the SASP;
(b) Purchase necessary equipment for the SASP;
(c) Maintain a reasonable working capital reserve;
(d) Rehabilitate surplus property, including the purchase of replacement parts;
(e) Acquire or improve office or distribution center facilities; or
(f) Pay for the costs of internal and external audits.
§ 102-37.285 May a SASP use service charge funds to support non-SASP State activities and programs?
No, except as provided in §102–37.495, you must use funds collected from service charges, or from other sources such as proceeds from sale of undistributed property or funds collected from compliance cases, solely for the operation of the SASP and the benefit of participating donees.
Disposing of Undistributed Property
§ 102-37.290 What must a SASP do with surplus property it cannot donate?
(a) As soon as it becomes clear that you cannot donate the surplus property, you should first determine whether or not the property is usable.
(1) If you determine that the undistributed surplus property is not usable, you should seek GSA approval to abandon or destroy the property in accordance with §102–37.320.
(2) If you determine that the undistributed surplus property is usable, you should immediately offer it to other SASPs. If other SASPs cannot use the property, you should promptly report it to GSA for redisposal (i.e., disposition through retransfer, sale, or other means).
(b) Normally, any property not donated within a 1-year period should be processed in this manner.
§ 102-37.295 Must GSA approve a transfer between SASPs?
Yes, the requesting SASP must submit a SF 123, Transfer Order Surplus Personal Property, to the GSA regional office in which the releasing SASP is located. GSA will approve or disapprove the request within 30 calendar days of receipt of the transfer order.
§ 102-37.300 What information must a SASP provide GSA when reporting unneeded usable property for disposal?
When reporting unneeded usable property that is not required for transfer to another SASP, provide GSA with the:
(a) Best possible description of each line item of property, its current condition code, quantity, unit and total acquisition cost, State serial number, demilitarization code, and any special handling conditions;
(b) Date you received each line item of property listed; and
(c) Certification of reimbursement requested under §102–37.315.
§ 102-37.305 May a SASP act as GSA's agent in selling undistributed surplus property (either as usable property or scrap)?
Yes, you may act as GSA's agent in selling undistributed surplus property (either as usable property or scrap) if an established cooperative agreement with GSA permits such an action. You must notify GSA each time you propose to conduct a sale under the cooperative agreement. You may request approval to conduct a sale when reporting the property to GSA for disposal instructions. If no formal agreement exists, you may submit such an agreement at that time for approval.
§ 102-37.310 What must a proposal to sell undistributed surplus property include?
(a) Your request to sell undistributed surplus property must include:
(1) The proposed sale date;
(2) A listing of the property;
(3) Location of the sale;
(4) Method of sale; and
(5) Proposed advertising to be used.
(b) If the request is approved, the GSA regional sales office will provide the necessary forms and instructions for you to use in conducting the sale.
§ 102-37.315 What costs may a SASP recover if undistributed surplus property is retransferred or sold?
(a) When undistributed surplus property is transferred to a Federal agency or another SASP, or disposed of by public sale, you are entitled to recoup:
(1) Direct costs you initially paid to the Federal holding agency, including but not limited to, packing, preparation for shipment, and loading. You will not be reimbursed for actions following receipt of the property, including unloading, moving, repairing, preserving, or storage.
(2) Transportation costs you incurred, but were not reimbursed by a donee, for initially moving the property from the Federal holding agency to your distribution facility or other point of receipt. You must document and certify the amount of reimbursement requested for these costs.
(b) Reimbursable arrangements should be made prior to transfer of the property. In the case of a Federal transfer, GSA will secure agreement of the Federal agency to reimburse your authorized costs, and annotate the amount of reimbursement on the transfer document. You must coordinate and make arrangements for reimbursement when property is transferred to another SASP. If you and the receiving SASP cannot agree on an appropriate reimbursement charge, GSA will determine appropriate reimbursement. The receiving SASP must annotate the reimbursement amount on the transfer document prior to its being forwarded to GSA for approval.
(c) When undistributed property is disposed of by public sale, GSA must approve the amount of sales proceeds you may receive to cover your costs. Generally, this will not exceed 50 percent of the total sales proceeds.
§ 102-37.320 Under what conditions may a SASP abandon or destroy undistributed surplus property?
(a) You may abandon or destroy undistributed surplus property when you have made a written finding 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. The abandonment or destruction finding must be sent to the appropriate GSA regional office for approval. You must include in the finding:
(1) The basis for the abandonment or destruction;
(2) A detailed description of the property, its condition, and total acquisition cost;
(3) The proposed method of destruction (burning, burying, etc.) or the abandonment location;
(4) A statement confirming that the proposed abandonment or destruction will not be detrimental or dangerous to public health or safety and will not infringe on the rights of other persons; and
(5) The signature of the SASP director requesting approval for the abandonment or destruction.
(b) GSA will notify you within 30 calendar days whether you may abandon or destroy the property. GSA will provide alternate disposition instructions if it disapproves your request for abandonment or destruction. If GSA doesn't reply to you within 30 calendar days of notification, the property may be abandoned or destroyed.
Cooperative Agreements
§ 102-37.325 With whom and for what purpose(s) may a SASP enter into a cooperative agreement?
Section 549(f) of title 40, United States Code allows GSA, or Federal agencies designated by GSA, to enter into cooperative agreements with SASPs to carry out the surplus property donation program. Such agreements allow GSA, or the designated Federal agencies, to use the SASP's property, facilities, personnel, or services or to furnish such resources to the SASP. For example:
(a) Regional GSA personal property management offices, or designated Federal agencies, may enter into a cooperative agreement to assist a SASP in distributing surplus property for donation. Assistance may include:
(1) Furnishing the SASP with available GSA or agency office space and related support such as office furniture and information technology equipment needed to screen and process property for donation.
(2) Permitting the SASP to retain items of surplus property transferred to the SASP that are needed by the SASP in performing its donation functions (see §102–37.270).
(b) Regional GSA personal property management offices may help the SASP to enter into agreements with other GSA or Federal activities for the use of Federal telecommunications service or federally-owned real property and related personal property.
(c) A SASP may enter into a cooperative agreement with GSA to conduct sales of undistributed property on behalf of GSA (see §102–37.305).
[67 FR 2584, Jan. 18, 2002, as amended at 71 FR 23868, Apr. 25, 2006]
§ 102-37.330 Must the costs of providing support under a cooperative agreement be reimbursed by the parties receiving such support?
The parties to a cooperative agreement must decide among themselves the extent to which the costs of the services they provide must be reimbursed. Their decision should be reflected in the cooperative agreement itself. As a general rule, the Economy Act (31 U.S.C. 1535) would require a Federal agency receiving services from a SASP to reimburse the SASP for those services. Since SASPs are not Federal agencies, the Economy Act would not require them to reimburse Federal agencies for services provided by such agencies. In this situation, the Federal agencies would have to determine whether or not their own authorities would permit them to provide services to SASPs without reimbursement. If a Federal agency is reimbursed by a SASP for services provided under a cooperative agreement, it must credit that payment to the fund or appropriation that incurred the related costs.
§ 102-37.335 May a SASP enter into a cooperative agreement with another SASP?
Yes, with GSA's concurrence and where authorized by State law, a SASP may enter into an agreement with an adjacent State to act as its agent and authorized representative in disposing of surplus Federal property. Interstate cooperative agreements may be considered when donees, because of their geographic proximity to the property distribution centers of the adjoining State, could be more efficiently and economically serviced by surplus property facilities in the adjacent State. You and the other SASP must agree to the payment or reimbursement of service charges by the donee and you also must agree to the requirements of §102–37.205(e).
§ 102-37.340 When may a SASP terminate a cooperative agreement?
You may terminate a cooperative agreement with GSA 60-calendar days after providing GSA with written notice. For other cooperative agreements with other authorized parties, you or the other party may terminate the agreement as mutually agreed. You must promptly notify GSA when such other agreements are terminated.
Audits and Reviews
§ 102-37.345 When must a SASP be audited?
For each year in which a SASP receives $500,000 or more a year in surplus property or other Federal assistance, it must be audited in accordance with the Single Audit Act (31 U.S.C. 7501–7507) as implemented by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A–133, “Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations” (for availability see 5 CFR 1310.3). GSA's donation program should be identified by Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 39.003 when completing the required schedule of Federal assistance.
[67 FR 2584, Jan. 18, 2002, as amended at 71 FR 23868, Apr. 25, 2006]
§ 102-37.350 Does coverage under the single audit process in OMB Circular A–133 exempt a SASP from other reviews of its program?
No, although SASPs are covered under the single audit process in OMB Circular A–133, from time to time the Government Accountability Office (GAO), GSA, or other authorized Federal activities may audit or review the operations of a SASP. GSA will notify the chief executive officer of the State of the reasons for a GSA audit. When requested, you must make available financial records and all other records of the SASP for inspection by representatives of GSA, GAO, or other authorized Federal activities.
[67 FR 2584, Jan. 18, 2002, as amended at 71 FR 23868, Apr. 25, 2006]
§ 102-37.355 What obligations does a SASP have to ensure that donees meet Circular A–133 requirements?
SASPs, if they donate $500,000 or more in Federal property to a donee in a fiscal year, must ensure that the donee has an audit performed in accordance with Circular A–133. If a donee receives less than $500,000 in donated property, the SASP is not expected to assume responsibility for ensuring the donee meets audit requirements, beyond making sure the donee is aware that the requirements do exist. It is the donee's responsibility to identify and determine the amount of Federal assistance it has received and to arrange for audit coverage.
[67 FR 2584, Jan. 18, 2002, as amended at 71 FR 23868, Apr. 25, 2006]
Reports
§ 102-37.360 What reports must a SASP provide to GSA?
(a) Quarterly report on donations. Submit a GSA Form 3040, State Agency Monthly Donation Report of Surplus Personal Property, to the appropriate GSA regional office by the 25th day of the month following the quarter being reported. (OMB Control Number 3090–0112 has been assigned to this form.) Forms and instructions for completing the form are available from your servicing GSA office.
(b) Additional reports. Make other reports GSA may require to carry out its discretionary authority to transfer surplus personal property for donation and to report to the Congress on the status and progress of the donation program.
Liquidating a SASP
§ 102-37.365 What steps must a SASP take if the State decides to liquidate the agency?
