Doing Business With The Park

Government Property Regulations require that equipment, vehicles, and miscellaneous property no longer required by a federal operation be made available to:

• Other National Park Service and/or Department of the Interior (DOI) areas;
• Other federal agencies for their use in lieu of new procurements;
• State and local public agencies and other eligible non-federal public entities; or
• The public by competitive offerings such as sealed bid sales, spot bid sales or auctions.

If the property has no commercial value, or the estimated cost of its continued care and handling would exceed the estimated proceeds from its sale, it may be disposed of by abandonment, destruction, or donated to public bodies.

In accordance with Executive Order 12999, federal agencies will give special consideration for computer donations to schools and educational nonprofit organizations in federal empowerment zones and enterprise communities. For schools and educational nonprofits, the Computers for Learning website at computersforlearning.gov will provide one universal form to easily register to request excess and surplus federal computer equipment.

The national park routinely has the following type of items available at no cost to state and local units of government and non-profit and not-for-profit organizations: furniture, computers, monitors, and chairs. For further information e-mail the park.

Vehicles (cars, pick-ups, panel vans, suburban, etc) and motorized equipment (tractors, road graders, riding mowers, etc.) are available through the General Services Administration (GSA) auction program. Additional information is available at the GSA website, www.GSAauctions.gov
