Federal agencies may transfer excess education related equipment directly under the agency's established procedures or report the property to GSA as excess for subsequent transfer to a potential eligible recipient.

The authority for transfers under Computers for Learning is the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980, as amended (15 U.S.C. 3710(i)). This act authorizes federal agencies to transfer excess education-related federal equipment to educational institutions or nonprofit organizations for educational and research activities. Executive Order 12999 (3CFR, 1996 Comp., p.180) requires, to the extent permitted by law and where appropriate, the transfer of computer equipment for use by schools or nonprofit organizations.

The Computers for Learning GSAXcess® website facilitates the transfer of excess and surplus federal computer equipment to schools and nonprofit educational organizations.

Can we count on your agency's support?

To enable such important and sweeping changes to take place in our schools will require not only a rethinking and realignment of the industrial age factory model of education, but a rethinking of the tools available to support such change.

GSA disposes of personal property (furniture, computers, equipment, vehicles, etc.) through the excess process, http://www.GSAXcess.gov. Once a federal agency determines it has unneeded property, federal agencies can transfer Electronic Equipment (Federal Supply Group 70) directly to schools and educational nonprofits.
