6. How does FAS Property assist Agencies in Disposal?
Property is first offered to other Federal Agencies
This helps to avoid Federal agencies from buying something that another agency already has but does not need.
It also helps in disposing of property that is not needed but would otherwise have to be stored if a new home is not found.

7. Next, the property is offered to the States
If no Federal requests, GSA can give the property to the States for free.
This helps save taxpayer money within the States and U.S. Territories
The property is only given to one agency in each State – the State Agency for Surplus Property (SASP)
Each State and Territory has a SASP

8. State Agency for Surplus Property’s Role
Distributes Federal surplus personal property to eligible donees
The SASP determines who qualifies for Federal property based on Federal laws, rules and regulations.
Does compliance checks to ensure the property is used for the purpose for which it was given.

9. How do Federal Agencies and the States find out what is available?
GSA’s internet database of all excess property
