or a Federal agency, e.g., GSA, may be used in unusual or compelling

the best interest of the Government, and provided DLA Disposition
Services/the agency agrees. In such cases, disposal/sales services
may be provided on a reimbursable basis, with any sale proceeds
credited in compliance with FAR

services are needed, the plant clearance officer will document the
reasons in the case file and make arrangements directly with DLA
