# 102-37.45 Allocation factors.

(a) Extraordinary needs caused by disasters or emergency situations.

(b) Requests from the Department of Defense (DoD) for DoD-generated property to be allocated through a SASP for donation to a specific service educational activity (SEA).

(c) Need and usability of property. GSA will also give special consideration to requests transmitted through the SASPs by donees for specific items. Requests for property to be used “as is” will be given preference over cannibalization requests.

(d) Whether a SASP has already received similar property in the past, and how much.

(e) Past performance of a SASP in effecting timely pickup or removal of property approved for transfer and making prompt distribution of property to eligible donees.

(f) The property's condition and its original acquisition cost.

(g) Relative neediness of each State based on the State's population and per capita income.
