Property Management
Personal Property Management and Accountability
Personal property management requires a lifecycle approach to be effective. There are four major phases in the personal property lifecycle: acquisition, receipt, utilization, and disposal. Each phase has distinct processes and procedures associated with it to maintain proper stewardship of the Department’s assets. If the processes and procedures in one phase are not followed, it makes it difficult to establish and maintain accountability in the subsequent phase.
Personal property accountability includes responsibilities for presenting personal property for identification and tagging, which includes:
- Presenting personal property for identification;
- Ensuring the assets are on the property record and properly assigned;
- Securing and maintaining records relating to the assets;
- Tracking the movement of assets;
- Recording changes in physical condition;
- Conducting physical inventories;
- Verifying counts and reconciling the results for a positive outcome;
- Reporting all loss, theft, and damage of assets;
- Reutilizing assets when possible;
- Disposing of assets properly; and
- Supporting Fleet management activities.

Real Property Asset Management
Program Offices and Headquarters elements share the responsibility for management and overall stewardship of the Department’s real property assets. Proper management and stewardship ensures real property assets are maintained in a manner that promotes operational readiness, safety, environmental protection, property preservation, and life-cycle cost-effectiveness while meeting the Department’s missions. DOE Order 430.1B “Real Property Asset Management” as well as the Real Property Asset Management Plan (pdf) provide the overall strategies for managing the Department’s real property assets. The Three-year Rolling Timeline (pdf) provides the goals and measures for measuring success within the overall strategy. The Facilities and Infrastructure Division of the Office of Engineering and Construction Management (OECM) develops and maintains policies and procedures for real property asset management and provides corporate implementation oversight. These web pages identify DOE requirements for major real property asset management functional components including: planning, maintenance and recapitalization, disposition and long-term stewardship, value engineering, and performance goals and measures. They also provide tools and links useful to this effort. The two real property management areas are:
