GSA can help federal agencies dispose of personal property no longer needed by a federal agency. There are several solutions within the personal property disposal process.

• The holding agency declares the property “excess” and refers it to GSA for other federal agencies to screen the property through the property system. GSAXcess® is the entry way to the electronic system used for recording, tracking, and controlling the worldwide inventory of federal excess, surplus, and exchange/sale property.
• If excess personal property is not desired by other federal agencies, it is declared “surplus.” It is then offered to the State Agencies for Surplus Property for donation.
• If surplus personal property is determined not needed through the donation process, the surplus property is made available to the public for "sale" through GSA Auctions® for electronic bidding or through Surplus Sales of Personal Property for non-electronic bidding.
