| At the end of the disaster, the APMG will coordinate the return of all accountable property to the FEMA distribution centers. If new property has been purchased that is unique to the disaster, the APMG will seek guidance from FEMA Headquarters. If the item is unique and has a low likelihood of being used in a subsequent disaster, then FEMA Headquarters may provide guidance for disposing of the item instead of sending it back to the distribution centers. Sometimes HQ says FEMA doesn’t need the item(s) so it may be advertised and offered up to other federal agencies. If no other federal entities express a desire for the item(s), the General Services Administration (GSA) will assist by offering the item(s) to state or local governments. If still no interest is expressed in the item, GSA will award the item(s) to the highest bidder after posting of auction on the GSA excess property auction web site.
