GSAXcess® is the customer interface to the Federal Disposal System (FEDS). GSAXcess® is a totally web enabled platform that eligible customers use to access all customer functions of FEDS: reporting, searching and selecting property. GSAXcess® provides agencies a means of electronically reporting their unrequired personal property to GSA. GSAXcess® is also used as a source of supply for customers seeking property that has been reported and is available for transfer. Agencies may search GSA's inventory through a process known as screening, and they may request property for transfer by selecting specific items.

GSAXcess® provides agencies a means of electronically reporting their unrequired personal property to GSA. FEDS is also used as a source of supply by customers seeking property that has been reported and is available for transfer. Agencies may search GSA's inventory through a process known as screening and select property for transfer by freezing specific items.

The property system is available to three groups of users: (1) federal agencies, (2) authorized nonfederal recipients, and (3) surplus customers. Nonfederal recipients are activities which receive excess property through a federal sponsor but are themselves neither a federal agency nor a donee, for example, a federally recognized Indian tribe sponsored by the Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs. Surplus customers include state and local government agencies, nonprofit educational and public health activities, including programs for the homeless, etc. The State Agencies for Surplus Property (SASP) advise applicants of eligibility requirements and procedures to be followed in acquiring federal surplus personal property.

Property available for screening and selecting is organized into customer friendly commodity groupings to improve the screening process. The commodity groupings are built based on the Federal Supply Classification (FSC) assigned to each item reported in GSAXcess® to review the listing of the FSCs that make up each commodity category.

A Supplementary Address Code is a 6-digit Activity Address Code (AAC) that identifies the ship-to address. A supplementary address code is required only when selecting Recycling Control Point (RCP/Depot) property and not when selecting DRMO property. The activity's AAC cannot be used to select property in GSAXcess® which is at the RCP/Depot, the user must use the supplementary address code.

It is especially important for federal agencies to ensure that the Supplementary Address Code entered in GSAXcess® is linked to the correct ship-to address, because DoD pays for the shipping cost of RCP items frozen by federal agencies and non-federal recipients. However, the cost of re-shipping because the supplementary address code was entered incorrectly or loaded with the wrong ship-to address will be billed to the select activity.

Supplementary addresses for RCP property for federal agencies begin with "YT" and donation customers begin with "YD"

Issuance and identification of supplementary address codes is solely a Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) requirement. GSA does not assign or research supplementary address codes. Users who do not know the agency supplementary address code or have not yet been assigned a code should request this information in an email message to both of the following address:

The agency may wish to review the listing to look up a previously assigned supplementary address. The files listing the "YT" and "YD" addresses are available on the Internet at Recycling Control Point (RCP) Program Information. Federal agencies, click RCP YT Transfer/LESO Addresses. States, click RCP YD Donation Addresses.

The procedure applies only to military property located at Defense Reutilization and Marketing Offices (DRMOs). It does not apply to property reported by civilian agencies.

Blue Light -- also known as RTD2 -- is the 2-day screening period that takes place after the period of GSA allocation.  As such, it is the Thursday and Friday that follow the Surplus Release Date (SRD).

The specific problem addressed by Blue Light occurs when a Federal agency is allocated and transferred property by GSA and then fails to pick it up.  At that point, the Federal agency must notify GSA that it no longer wants the item so GSA can cancel the requisition.  Upon cancellation, GSA will allocate the item to another customer, if there were any activities that processed the item through checkout in GSAXcess® which showed interest in the item prior to the transfer.

If there are no indications of interest in GSAXcess® and the 21-day screening period has passed, and the Defense Reutilization Marketing Office (DRMO) does a DTID restart and sends the item through the entire disposal process again beginning with Department of Defense internal screening. The item will not appear in GSAXcess® the second-time around because it is a duplicate Item Control Number and is rejected by the system when resent to GSA by DRMS. However at the end of the 21-day screening, the item rolls over to RTD2 for a final screening period of 2 days prior to going to sales. Federal and state agencies then have the opportunity to screen Blue Light property and acquire it through GSAXcess®).

For this to happen eligible activities must first know that the property is in Blue Light.

This can be done by visiting the DRMS site (http://www.drms.dla.mil/asset/govealpa.html) and searching for property in RTD2 status.

The Federal and State agency must then inform GSA of its interest in the item so that it can be recalled from History and made visible to GSA customers in GSAXcess®.
