    To obtain maximum benefit from Government funds available for 

procurement of personal property, each executive agency shall:

    (a) Insure that personal property currently on hand is being 

utilized to the fullest extent practical and provide supporting 

justification prior to effecting new procurement for similar type 

property. (When the proposed procurement is for similar items from non-

GSA sources, the provisions of Sec. 101-26.100-2 apply.)

    (b) Procure the minimum quantity and quality of property which is 

required to support the mission of the agency and to satisfy the 

function for which the property is required.

    (c) Limit procurement of different varieties, types, sizes, colors, 

etc., of required items to those essential in satisfying the functional 

end-use purpose. To this end the quantity, quality, and variety of 

personal property required to adequately perform the end-use function 

should be determined prior to initiation of procurement processes.
