[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 41, Volume 3] [Revised as of July 1, 2005] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 41CFR102-36.65] [Page 91] TITLE 41--PUBLIC CONTRACTS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CHAPTER 102--FEDERAL MANAGEMENT REGULATION PART 102-36_DISPOSITION OF EXCESS PERSONAL PROPERTY--Table of Contents Subpart B_Acquiring Excess Personal Property For Our Agency Sec. 102-36.65 Why must we use excess personal property instead of buying new property? Using excess personal property to the maximum extent practicable maximizes the return on Government dollars spent and minimizes expenditures for new procurement. Before purchasing new property, check with the appropriate regional GSA Personal Property Management office or access FEDS for any available excess personal property that may be suitable for your needs. You must use excess personal property unless it would cause serious hardship, be impractical, or impair your operations.
