Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

General Services Administration's Procedures for Disposing of Federal Property

LCD-77-352 Published: Jul 20, 1977. Publicly Released: Nov 05, 1982.

Highlights

Despite authorizing legislation, the General Services Administration (GSA) has not always promoted maximum utilization of excess land by the executive agencies. In some cases, GSA disposal of land outside the government led to unnecessary expenditures by the requesting agency, resulted in litigation, and caused uncertainty to an agency which delayed disposal of federal property. Further, the reduced screening period on certain types of property did not expedite the disposal of property outside the federal government.
