Computers For Learning (CFL)
"The federal role in education is not to serve the system. It is to serve the children."
President George W. Bush
Executive Order 12999, "Educational Technology: Ensuring Opportunity for all Children in the Next Century," directs agencies, to the extent permitted by law, to transfer computer and related peripheral equipment excess to their needs directly to schools and some educational nonprofit organizations. The Computers For Learning Program supports Executive Order 12999 and helps streamline the transfer of excess federal computer equipment. The program's goal is to make modern computer technology an integral part of every classroom so that every child has the opportunity to be educated to his or her full potential.
Federal agencies can report their excess computers and related peripheral equipment to GSA through the GSAXcess® website. Eligible recipients can view and request the available federal excess property at the CFL website.
