Highlights

To supply federal agencies with necessities for daily operations, the General Services Administration (GSA) buys, stores, and distributes a multitude of items, ranging from paper clips to helicopters. However, agencies sometimes find that they no longer need material they have received from GSA. GSA's credit return program is supposed to provide these agencies a means of returning this material to the GSA supply system. The program is intended to reduce government cost by reducing the need for GSA to purchase identical material repeatedly.
