September 15, 2008 | GSAXcess® Picture Submission -Exciting News! Uploading pictures in GSAXcess® used to require a separate User ID and password. Effective September 15, 2008, the GSAXcess® system picture upload function has been enhanced to eliminate the requirement of an additional User ID and password. Once you are logged into the GSAXcess® system with your usual User ID and password, you no longer need any other password to upload pictures. You click and upload. To further simplify the picture submission process, the GSAXcess® system automatically resizes your picture and assigns the correct Item Control Number name to your picture file. It's that simple. All you have to do is to find your .jpeg extension file on your hard drive, select the file, and click upload. Complete instructions on the new improved process can be found by clicking on the Help button of the picture upload screen. If you have any questions, be sure and call your GSA Area Property Officer, the expert in customer personal property issues.

Federal Asset Sales revision:The Federal Asset Sales Initiative (eFAS) is one of the E-Gov initiatives established in the President's Management Agenda. Beginning in 2007, all agencies will use an approved sales center to sell their surplus personal property. Currently, there are two approved personal property sales centers that agencies can choose from to sell general government surplus property - - General Services Administration (GSA) or the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-CEPO) and two sales centers that agencies can use to sell forfeited and abandoned property - - Department of Treasury and Department of Justice. Agencies will be able to request a waiver from the use of a Sales Center, through the Federal Asset Sales Central Planning Office once the final rule on Sales of Property, FMR 102-38, is published. That regulation will include information about obtaining waivers.
If you select GSA, then when the property item completes GSAXcess screening and if no Federal Agency or State selects the property, it will be sold through the GSA Sales Center. The system automatically presets to be sold by GSA. To be sold by USDA - CEPO, the property must be located in the District of Columbia metropolitan area. If you select Waiver, then control of the item will be returned to the Agency for disposal or sale. If you have any questions about obtaining a waiver, please email the Federal Asset Sales Central Planning Office at fasplanningoffice@gsa.gov.
