REPORT ON INVENTORY OF EXCESS AND SURPLUS PERSONAL PROPERTY, DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY

The total inventory of excess and surplus personal property on hand at naval activities in the continental United States and its Territories and possessions at the end of April was $122.7 million. This compares with $113.2 million at the end of March 1952, an increase of $9.5 million. These figures included all property from the time it becomes excess to the reporting activity until it is finally disposed of by redistribution in the Navy, by transfer, sale, or other means. Reports were received from 104 activities but 72.5 percent of the inventory was accounted for by the following activities:

The general disposal instructions require that material excess to an activity be reported to the cognizant Bureau or supply demand control point (SDCP) for disposition instructions. If the Bureau or SDCP considers it excess to its needs it is referred to the Surplus Materials Division (SMD) of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts. SMD screens it with the other bureaus, SDCP's, Army and Air Force. If no requirements are found it is then reported to the Federal Supply Service (FSS) of the General Services Administration (GSA) where similar screening is accomplished for the other Federal agencies. Property not used by other Federal agencies or donated to educational institutions is referred back by FSS to the holding activity for disposition.

The breakdown of the above inventory according to the status of the property is as follows:

Each status above may be considered to be a potential delaying factor in this process of screening and disposing of excess and surplus property. The balance of this report consists of a separate discussion of each of these factors. (1) Awaiting Bureau or SDCP clearance

Property awaiting clearance by cognizant bureaus or supply demand control points showed a decrease of 5.8 percent during April and remained first in importance. This category now represents 27.3 percent of the total inventory.
