# 102-42.85 Transfer of excess foreign gifts or decorations.
(a) To obtain an excess gift or decoration from another agency, you may request it in PPMS. Upon these items no longer being required, you must report them to GSA as foreign gift items.
(b) You may only request excess gifts and decorations for public display or other legitimate agency use, and not for the personal benefit of any individual. GSA may require that transfer orders be supported by justifications for the intended display or official use of the requested gifts and decorations. Jewelry and watches transferred for official display must be displayed with appropriate security measures.
(c) When transferred gifts and decorations are no longer required for official use, they must be reported to GSA as excess property on a Standard Form (SF) 120, including the original transfer order number or a copy of the original transfer order.
