A New Approach to Property Disposal within the Federal Government

Abstract

This research will evaluate the issues associated with a new property management concept for the use of DoD/Federal agencies to exchange serviceable, non-excess, used equipment for new equipment through a commercial exchange program that would utilize internet auctioning to assess fair market value for such property and provide credit at internet stores for future agency needs. This research is correlates directly with an ongoing research contract that is being managed by Professor Ron Tudor at the Naval Postgraduate School. The concept will enable agencies and Program Offices to recycle past appropriated funds back into their programs where Congress has already determined the critical need for such resources, and lessen the burden to Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO), where such equipment generally returns pennies on the dollar as scrap to the Treasury Department.
