## 8.103 Information on available excess personal property.

Information regarding the availability of excess personal property can be obtained through-

1. (a) Review of excess personal property catalogs and bulletins issued by the General Services Administration (GSA);

2. (b) Personal contact with GSA or the activity holding the property;

3. (c) Submission of supply requirements to the regional offices of GSA (GSA Form 1539, Request for Excess Personal Property, is available for this purpose); and

4. (d) Examination and inspection of reports and samples of excess personal property in GSA regional offices.

## 8.104 Obtaining nonreportable property.

GSA will assist agencies in meeting their requirements for supplies of the types excepted from reporting as excess by the Federal Management Regulations (41 CFR 102-36.90). Federal agencies requiring such supplies should contact the appropriate GSA regional office.
