8.104
Obtaining nonreportable property
Federal agencies must contact the GSA Personal Property Management office to obtain supplies classified as nonreportable property, bypassing the standard excess reporting process.
Overview
FAR 8.104 outlines the process for federal agencies to obtain supplies that are classified as nonreportable property—items excepted from excess property reporting requirements under the Federal Management Regulations (41 CFR 102-36.220). Instead of reporting these items as excess, agencies can directly request assistance from the General Services Administration (GSA) to fulfill their needs for such supplies. The regulation directs agencies to contact the appropriate GSA Personal Property Management office for support, with contact information available at www.gsa.gov/ppmo.
Key Rules
- Nonreportable Property Exception
- Supplies excepted from excess reporting under 41 CFR 102-36.220 are handled differently from other excess property.
- GSA Assistance
- GSA will help agencies obtain these nonreportable supplies upon request.
- Contact Procedure
- Agencies must reach out to the relevant GSA Personal Property Management office for assistance.
Responsibilities
- Contracting Officers: Ensure agency requirements for nonreportable property are communicated to GSA and follow the prescribed contact procedures.
- Contractors: Generally not directly involved, but should be aware if supporting agency property management functions.
- Agencies: Identify nonreportable property needs and coordinate with GSA as instructed.
Practical Implications
- This section streamlines the process for acquiring nonreportable property, bypassing the excess reporting process.
- Agencies must be familiar with what qualifies as nonreportable property under 41 CFR 102-36.220.
- Failure to follow the correct process may delay acquisition or result in noncompliance with federal property management regulations.
