FPMR H - Utilization and Disposal
GSA Bulletin FPMR H - TO: Heads of Federal Agencies SUBJECT: GSA personal property sales services and rates 1. Purpose. This bulletin provides the services and rates for the sale of surplus and exchange/sale personal property. The basic services that GSA offers and the rates for those services are shown in Attachment A. 2. Applicability. This bulletin applies to sales of surplus and exchange/sale personal property in the United States for executive agencies. 3. Effective date. This bulletin is effective June 1, 2003. 4. Expiration date. This bulletin is effective until canceled or revised. 5. Cancellation. GSA Bulletin H-77 is canceled. 6. Background. Section 573 of Title 40 of the United States Code states that the Administrator of General Services may retain from the proceeds of sales of personal property conducted by the General Services Administration (GSA) amounts necessary to recover, to the extent practicable, costs incurred by GSA (or its agent) in conducting such sales. 7. Charges. a. GSA establishes rates for the services it provides in personal property sales. GSA does not bill its customers for these services. Instead, GSA deducts its service charges from the proceeds of the sale. This method frees customers from establishing separate systems for certification and payment of bills and does not affect agency operation budgets. b. If sales proceeds are reimbursable to the holding agency under Title 40 or under separate statutory authority, net proceeds (sales proceeds less GSA's basic service rates and supplemental charges) will be distributed to the agency via the on-line payment and accounting contract (IPAC) system. c. If sales are nonreimbursable, GSA will retain the expenses of sale. Except as otherwise authorized by law, the net proceeds will be deposited to miscellaneous receipts of the Treasury. 8. Supplemental services and rates. GSA may charge for supplemental services and these charges will be deducted from the sales proceeds. (Some examples include: transportation, storage, maintenance, vehicle preparation, security services, travel expenses, portable restroom facilities, and special media advertising.) Rates for supplemental services will vary according to local market conditions. GSA publishes these rates in GSA regional bulletins available from the servicing regional GSA sales office. 9. Consultation. GSA will consult with customers to determine their requirements for supplemental services. 10. Property resale. Property for which the sale contract is terminated for default will be resold at no cost to the holding agency. Property for which the sale contract is terminated for cause, for example, misdescription of the property, will be resold at the holding agency's cost if the cause is attributable to the holding agency.
