Be “Reentry Ready” with GSA’s Personal Property Management Program

Going back to the office can be overwhelming. While reentering facilities, agencies may discover office equipment or other property that’s no longer needed or wanted. GSA’s Office of Personal Property Management (PPM) can help agencies dispose of unneeded property quickly, painlessly, and in accordance with federal regulations. The program offers multiple options, including transferring property to other federal agencies, donating it to state and local governments and non-profit organizations, and selling it to the public. GSA can even store your agency’s property at our warehouse in Springfield, VA.

Check out our “Tips for Preparing for a Major Move” flyer for more information on how GSA can address your property-management needs.
