Government Furnished Property (GFP) - Web Based Training
 

Government Furnished Property (GFP) Application

Purpose

The GFP application in PIEE allows users to manage and report Government Furnished Property, and in some cases, Contractor Acquired Property. GFP Attachments are created by DoD users to identify GFP that the contractor is authorized to have under that contract. Property Transfer Documents are created to track shipment and receipt of Government Furnished Property. Property Loss and Plant Clearance provide communication between contractors and DoD to process dispositioning instructions. Item Management enables contractors to report updates to GFP items in their custody.

What is considered "government property"?

"Government property” means all property owned or leased by the government. Government property includes both government-furnished property and contractor-acquired property. Government property includes material, equipment, special tooling, special test equipment, and real property.


GFP Attachment

Purpose

The GFP application allows DoD users to create, review, and approve a GFP Attachment that authorizes the contractor to have GFP.

There are four types of GFP Attachments:

  • Contract Award
  • Contract Modification
  • Solicitation
  • Solicitation Amendment

GFP Attachment Sections

The GFP Attachment consists of the following basic sections:

  • Identifying information (Contract Information / Solicitation Information, etc.)
  • Provisioned Items
  • Requisitioned Items

Document Creation Methods

There are three methods available for the creation of a GFP Attachment:

  • Excel Template Upload via the GFP Web Application
  • Manual Creation via the GFP Web Application
  • Creation by population of data from an existing GFP Attachment via the GFP Web Application

Property Transfer

Purpose

The GFP application allows the creation of Property Transfer documents.

From the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 45.101:

"Property in the possession of, or directly acquired by, the Government and subsequently furnished to the contractor for performance of a contract. Government furnished property includes, but is not limited to, spares and property furnished for repairs, maintenance, overhaul, or modification. Government furnished property also includes contractor acquired property if the contractor acquired property is a deliverable under a cost contract when accepted by the Government for continued use under the contract."



Contractor Acquired Property Pre-screening (CAP)

Purpose

The GFP module allows the creation of Contractor Acquired Property Pre-screening documents by a Vendor Contractor Property Manager. These documents are sent to the government to determine inventory scheduling. The mission of the GFP module is to centralize information about GFP over the lifecycle including events that cause them to leave DoD inventory or DoD accountability.


Item Management

Purpose

Item Management allows GFP Contractors to accurately account for updates to the status of GFP while it is in their possession, but only after items have been receipted into the Contractor's inventory.


Property Loss

Purpose

The GFP module allows the creation of Property Loss Cases to report the details of GFP leaving the DoD Inventory due to property loss. The mission of the GFP Module is to centralize information about GFP over its lifecycle, including events that cause them to leave the DoD’s inventory or DoD accountability.


Plant Clearance

Purpose

Plant Clearance allows acquiring agencies to view excess property, create requisitions, and see the status of current requisitions. Contractors with the role Contractor Property Manager will be able to create and submit Plant Clearance Inventory Schedule documents in GFP. The submitted Plant Clearance Inventory Schedule documents will be reviewed and accepted by Plant Clearance Officers (PLCO) or Support Plant Clearance Officers (Support PLCO).

After a PLCO or a Support PLCO has accepted an Inventory Schedule document, a PLCO is able to create a Case document from the Inventory schedule and apply screener rules to the line items. Screener Rules dictate how long and who may view the line items that have been submitted on an accepted Inventory Schedule that is established to a Plant Clearance case. Those with a DoD Screener role may view items within the module that are marked as Standard Screening or Special Screening. Standard Screening is available for 20 days; after that the items are sent to GSA for days 21-46. Special Screening is available for 20 days. If items are marked as GSA Screening only, they are sent directly to GSA and can't be screened in the module. There is also an option for the screener rules to skip the screening process.

Once cases have been established from the Plant Clearance Inventory Schedules, PLCOs and DoD Screeners may create a Transfer Request from the line items to be reviewed by a PLCO. A PLCO reviews the Transfer Requests and accept or reject the requests.
