Application Notes:

Applicants may screen for available property either in person, by contacting the appropriate region or field offices of the appropriate disposal agency listed on page 1 of the NOFA file, or by obtaining access from the funding agency to the GSAXcess system. To obtain access to GSAXcess, applicants must email the form on page 16 of the Rules file, through their airport manager, to the appropriate Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) region or district office listed online at www.faa.gov.

Once a property is located, applicants must contact the funding agency via the appropriate airport district or field office listed online at www.faa.gov/airports/regions. The funding agency will provide the applicant with the forms required for submission to be designated as an eligible recipient of property through this program. Refer to page 9 of the Rules file for additional information.

The program officer stated that applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

The following may be required in order to submit an application:

• Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number
• SAM (System for Award Management) registration

Applicants may obtain a UEI number and verify or renew SAM registration status at www.ecivis.com/sam.

Applications will be evaluated based on the requested property's relevance to airport facilities and the applicant's capability to maintain the property throughout its useful life.

Refer to the NOFA, Application, and Rules files for additional application information.

Match Notes:

There are no stated matching requirements for this program. Property will generally be transferred to award recipients at no cost if it is used for airport purposes. However, it is the responsibility of the applicant to arrange for pick up and/or pay for packing, crating, handling, and transportation for allocated property.

In addition, applicants will be responsible for the pro rata amount as of the acceptance date of the application of all taxes, assessments, and similar charges made against the property conveyed, in instances where the particular federal agency holding the property is liable for the payment of such taxes, assessments, or charges.

Funding Notes:

Rather than providing monetary awards, this program provides transfers of surplus real and personal property by the federal government for public airport purposes. Property transferred through this program may include military bases that are closed under the Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC), and non-aeronautical-use property that generates revenue for airport operations, maintenance, and development. Eligible property is generally transferred at no cost if it is used for airport purposes.

Award recipients must obtain possession of transferred property within 120 days after application acceptance.

All revenues generated by property provided through this program must be expended for the capital or operating costs of the airport, the local airport system, or other local facilities owned or operated by the airport owner or operator, and directly and substantially related to the actual air transportation of passengers or property, or for noise mitigation purposes on or off the airport.

Surplus personal property awarded may not be used for non-airport purposes except when the conditions listed on page 7 of the Rules file are met.
