FAR 45.602 Reutilization of Government property.
The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.
In plain English
This section covers how Government property that is no longer needed for a contract can be reutilized, including by transfer or donation. It matters because it tells contractors that excess property may be reused rather than simply kept or disposed of, and it notes a limited exception for scrap aircraft parts.
Applies to: Government property not required for continued performance of a Government contract
Key terms: reutilization · transfer · donation · Government property · scrap aircraft parts
