State agencies and public organizations seeking donations of surplus federal property should contact a SASP representative in their region.

SASPs evaluate all organizations and determine eligibility based on proof of eligibility through proper documentation. SASPs may provide search-only access for the Personal Property Management System (PPMS), which is a web-enabled platform where eligible customers can search for and select personal property.
