Usually, government agencies can exchange/sale personal property without GSA’s permission, as long as the transactions follow 41 CFR 102-35.15, Deviations.
However, if an agency wants to make a transaction that 41 CFR 102-35.15 does not allow or restricts, they must ask us for a deviation. A common reason for a deviation request is for items on the “prohibited list” (41 CFR 102-39.20, Restrictions and Prohibitions).
Our Asset Management Policy Division can help you. They can discuss if your request is likely to be approved, look over your draft request, and offer advice to make sure your request is complete and clearly explained.
We can grant a deviation to any part of 41 CFR 102-35, Disposition of Personal Property unless a federal law prohibits it. For example, we cannot grant a deviation to the rules requiring:
We cannot grant exceptions to 41 CFR 102-39.3, Accounting Requirements.
Your deviation request must include:
Once we confirm the proposed action meets all other rules, our main concern is whether the action is in the best interest of the Government.
The deviation request must be approved by an official authorized by your agency to take such action. It should also be approved by, or discussed with, the appropriate official at your agency’s headquarters.
Email your deviation request to the Asset Management Policy Division at personalpropertypolicy@GSA.gov
Our Associate Administrator for Government-wide Policy must approve all deviation requests. We aim to process complete requests within 30 working days. Complex or unusual situations will usually take longer.

Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."
