  17. OTHER GROUPS OF INTEREST OR PLAYERS DRMS/DRMO/RCP USA-FEPP NASASP

  18. DRMS/DRMO/RCP Due to the unique nature of DOD assets GSA delegated certain authorities to DOD, originally with each military service administering its’ assets. An investigational report, referred to as the McClellan Report, identified systemic weaknesses of property management. DOD reassigned property management responsibility to DLA, which established what is now DRMS with field sites called DRMO’s. All military services must turn their excess property into a DRMO, which consolidates the data and reports the excess property to GSA. A recycling control point (RCP) is a way of managing the disposal of excess inventory at a DLA military supply depot. While no physical screening is allowed, property is reported electronically to GSA for screening in-place. Selected property is shipped free of charge to Federal activities and staged for pickup by SASPs.

  19. USA-FEPP Users and Srceeners Association/Federal Excess Personal Property is an independent nonprofit consortium of Federal agencies, cost reimbursement contractors, project grantees, universities and others who acknowledge the prime directive to use excess personal property as the first source of supply. The purpose is to share expertise, alert members to program changes, promote the use of excess, develop professionalism and to provide a unified voice concerning Federal personal property management.

  20. NASASP National Association of State Agencies for Surplus Property Motto: Pro Bono Publico (For the Public Good) The purpose of NASASP and its’ 56 state members is to partner with GSA and to save taxpayer dollars by extending the useful life of surplus to public agencies and nonprofit organizations in health and education.
