Donation of Federal Surplus Personal Property is a program from the General Services Administration (GSA) that transfers federal personal property no longer needed by federal agencies to eligible nonfederal entities at little or no cost. Available items include office equipment and furniture, motor vehicles, aircraft, vessels, animals, scientific devices, and heavy machinery.

State and local governments, nonprofit organizations, and public agencies can obtain surplus property through their State Agency for Surplus Property (SASP), established in each state, territory, and the District of Columbia. Eligibility must be determined by the local SASP before acquisition. The program maximizes use of federal assets and saves taxpayer funds by reducing the need for new purchases.

Recent federal obligations suggest approximately $8,269,943 in 2024.
