45.608-2  Standard screening.

    (a) Standard screening applies to serviceable property with a line 
item value of $1,000 or more ($500 for furniture) that does not meet the 
criteria for another screening category.
    (b) Standard screening begins on the date the plant clearance 
officer receives acceptable contractor inventory schedules and ends 90 
days thereafter. The period is broken into three phases as follows:
    (1) 1st through 30th day--screening by the contracting agency. The 
agency shall screen the listed items for its use. When screening is 
completed, the plant clearance officer shall delete the retained items 
from the schedules.
    (2) 31st through 75th day--screening by all Federal agencies. Not 
later than the 31st day, the plant clearance officer shall send four 
copies of the revised schedules and Standard Form (SF) 120, Report of 
Excess Personal Property, to the General Services Administration (GSA) 
regional office that serves the region in which the property is located. 
If the plant clearance officer receives a request for property transfer 
after submission of the SF 120, and before receiving a GSA property 
transfer order, a prompt request shall be forwarded to GSA for approval 
to withdraw the items from the inventory schedule. The regional GSA 
office will prepare and issue circulars and catalogs to all Federal 
agencies within the region. GSA will honor requests for transfer of 
property on a first-come first-served basis through the 75th day. The 
GSA regional office will transmit to the plant clearance officer the 
approved orders and shipping instructions for property to be 
transferred. The 75th day is the surplus release date and will be shown 
on the SF 120. The plant clearance officer may not extend this date.
    (3) 76th through 90th day--screening by GSA for possible donation. 
During this period, GSA will arrange for screening of all remaining 
property for possible donation to eligible donees. Procedures for 
donation are in 45.609. The 90th day is the screening completion date 
and will be shown on the SF 120. The plant clearance officer shall not 
extend this date.
