DFMWR Government Purchase Card Holders (GPCH) through the NAF Purchase Card Program within authorized dollar limitations (up to $2500 for a “service” and no more than $5000 for a single purchase). Splitting a purchase to circumvent the $5000 threshold is prohibited. CHs must indicate if the item(s) being purchased are property book CAO/NFS/PBO/HRH/Designees – Prepare, coordinate, items when entering the purchase into the online purchase card system. If in doubt, contact conduct and observe required annual 100% physical the NAF PBO. inventories. b. Single purchases over the $5000 threshold must be competed and submitted electronically through the Standard NAF Automated Contracting System (SNACS) with conduct monthly reviews, routine hand detailed specifications as a NAF Purchase Request (PR)PBO/HRH and route to your local Financial receipt maintenance. Prepare and coordinate active Management Officer (FMO) for funding approval. After funding is approved thewill FMO willtransfer life property transfers. PBO forward route the PR to the NAF Contracting Office. Access to SNACSrequests requires training and to CAO/NFS for posting. issuance of a User ID and Password.

IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 6 2-2. PURCHASE REQUESTS: When an activity submits a PR through SNACS, it is imperative for the accounting data to be correct. Incorrect accounting data can delay, decrease, or forfeit purchase rebates and require unnecessary and timely research in making corrections when the asset is expensed. Accounting data consists of 12 alpha and numeric characters and should be submitted in the standardized format below: Example: RE1 LQ 81 39 163 Installation Code: RE1 (Fort Xray) Program Code: LQ (Golf Course) Location Code: 81 (Golf Course) Department Code: 39 (Pro Shop) GLAC: 163 (CPMC – Accountable Fixed Asset) Each PR submitted shall also indicate the number of months the asset shall depreciate. The minimum depreciation schedule is 24 months, depending upon the GLAC. There is no requirement to establish a depreciation schedule for items purchased using GLACs 761 (Controlled Expendables) or 742 (UFM items). Requests not meeting these requirements and format will be returned to the requestor for correction. Contact your FMO for an up to date listing of Accounting Codes for your installation. 2-3. TRADE-INS: Many vendors will accept used equipment for trade-in and provide a discount towards a new purchase. Hand Receipt Holders (HRH) and Government Purchase Card Holders (CH) are urged to consider trade-ins for large equipment such as kitchen and refrigeration equipment, lawn equipment, and large copiers which are difficult commodities to dispose of otherwise. This shall be considered for NAF to NAF replacements only. APF equipment may not be traded in towards NAF purchases. Trade-ins shall be coordinated through the NAF PBO to ensure proper removal of the traded in asset(s) from the HRH inventory. Trade-ins accomplished through SNACS shall be properly documented (as separate line items) on the PR with a full description of the items being traded in to include the NAF asset number (if applicable), make, model and serial numbers, quantity being traded in and dollar value for the trade-in. OCONUS installations may not be able to make trade-ins due to customs considerations. 2-4. GOVERNMENT PURCHASE CARD HOLDERS (GPCH): GPCHs are required to ensure funds are available prior to using their purchase cards. GPCHs are responsible for providing purchase documentation to include the exact purchase price, any discounts applied, as well as the date and the company from whom the purchase was made. Original documentation is to be provided to the Billing Official (BO) and a copy provided to the HRH. It is the responsibility of the HRH to ensure documentation (invoices/credit card receipts) is provided to the NAF PBO to establish accountability. For complete guidance on the use of the Government Purchase Card, cardholders will reference the U.S. Army Non Appropriated fund instrumentalities, Standing Operating Procedure, Purchase card and Convenience Checks, 22 Jun 2004. When purchasing accountable and non-accountable property on the same credit card purchase, it is imperative CHs break down the purchases and code each individual line item electronically through the online government purchase card system with the correct GLAC (Section 2.9 – Accountable GLACS) and location. This will ensure that accountable items are recorded at the correct pricing and to the correct location. Splitting purchases to avoid the competition threshold and/or to stay within a cardholder’s single or monthly purchase limit and/or to avoid processing through the NAF Contracting office is PROHIBITED. IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 7 If the invoice and/or receipt does not indicate the make, model, and serial number, the CH/HRH shall hand write this information on the invoice/receipt before submitting to the NAF PBO. CHs are responsible for ensuring proper usage of mandatory sources of supplies such as NAF consolidated contracts, non-profit agencies for the blind such as Ability One (NIB/NISH), etc. Cardholders are required to rotate purchases amongst qualified sources and within dollar limitations. CHs are required to keep and maintain copies of all purchase documentation for three years. For accountable property the CH is also required to maintain a copy of the NAF Fixed Asset Reporting Form (FAF) used to load the asset into the Fixed Asset Register. 2-5. BILLING OFFICIALS (BO): It is the responsibility of the BO to ensure that CHs properly code purchases. If the accounting data is incorrect, it is the BO’s responsibility to provide written notification to NFS to correct the error. There will be no tolerance for allowing CHs to make purchases of accountable property coded to GLAC 726 (Non-accountable Supplies). The BO is responsible to ensure copies of invoices/receipts are forwarded to the NAF PBO to establish accountability. Billing officials are required to retain original purchase records (invoices/receipts) for six years and three months. 2-6. HAND RECEIPT HOLDERS: HRHs are responsible for ensuring that receiving reports (Section 2-10.d) and full item descriptions (make, model and serial numbers) are forwarded to the NAF PBO to establish accountability, regardless of acquisition method. Local policy may also require HRHs to prepare FAFs to establish accountability. 2-7. PROPERTY BOOK OFFICER: When HRH’s are not required to prepare FAFs, PBOs shall prepare them utilizing the signed and dated receiving reports submitted by HRHs to establish accountability. The benefit of having the PBO prepare FAFs is to provide uniformity and consistency. Some installations do not have a NAF PBO. If that is the case for your installation, contact your FMO to find out the individual responsible for NAF Property Accountability. For installations without a PBO it may be more appropriate to require the HRH to prepare and sign the FAF and submit it to the designated individual responsible for administering the duties of a PBO which may be a Supply Clerk, Technician or FMO. PBOs or someone serving as the PBO will forward all FAF submissions accompanied with receiving reports to CAO/NFS for input into the NAF Fixed Asset Register. Where applicable, PBOs shall provide courtesy copies of FAFs to the HRH, FMO and the CH (for credit card purchases). 2-8. GENERAL LEDGER ACCOUNTING CODES (GLACS): The following table defines the most commonly used GLACS associated with the acquisition and accountability of NAF fixed assets: Overhead activities should be treated as Cat B. See AR 215-1, chapter 3, Section II for full explanations and definitions of CAT A, B, & C facilities. For a complete list and definition of GLACS, see DFAS-IN 37-1, chapter 32. 2-9. GLAC TABLE: GLAC 726 Type Supplies Dollar Threshold There is no particular dollar threshold, but generally lower dollar items consumed in usage with a life expectancy less than two years. IMCOM Asset Management Handbook Accountability & Description NON-Accountable: Cat A, B & C. Used for office supplies, building supplies, etc. There is no requirement to report these items to NAF PBO to establish accountability. April 2012 Page 8 761 Controlled Expendables Includes items with a unit price greater than $100, but total cost less than $2500 whether purchased singularly or in bulk. Life expectancy of at least two years. Also referred to as “Durables” or “E” items. 742 UFM (Uniform Funding & Management) Items purchased with UFM funds (APF converted to NAF) with a unit value of $2500 or greater OR like items purchased in bulk with a unit value greater than $100 and a total cost of $2500 or greater. Life expectancy of two or more years. Also referred to as “U” items. “Like” items means “identical”. 163 FFE (Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment) Items purchased with CPMC (Capital Purchase, Minor Construction) funds with a unit value of $2500 or greater OR like items purchased in bulk with a unit value greater than $100 and a total cost of $2500 or greater. Life expectancy of two or more years. Also referred to as “F” or “T” items. “Like” items means “identical”. GLAC 169 173 175 181 2-10. Type Dollar Threshold Building improvements also known as Building Construction in progress. There is no Improvements dollare threshold. Also referred to as Building Maintenance and Repairs Gov’t Titled Bldg. & Improvements APF Authorized Fixed Assets “C” items Building maintenance and repair projects purchased with CPMC funds with a unit value of $2500 or greater. Also referred to as “K” items. Discretionary Reporting: Cat A, B & C. Items considered sensitive in nature or pilferable such as digital cameras, automation, stereo equipment, etc. Any items containing a make, model and serial number will be recorded. Controlling low dollar durable items helps ensure that items aren’t walking out the door and provides documentation in the event of a theft or loss. Accountable: Cat A & B. These assets are treated and accounted for as NAF Fixed assets. They do not depreciate. Accountability is maintained until disposition. Any proceeds upon disposition by sale are remitted to the location accountable for the fixed asset. See AR 215-1 paragraphs 5–2 and 5–3 for policy on the DOD MWR USA/UFM funding practices, which allows authorized APF services to be executed for an MWR NAF account. Accountable: Primarily Cat C, however could be used for Cat A or B if UFM funding is unavailable. These assets are accounted for as NAF Fixed assets. Depreciation schedule ranges from 2 to 10 years. Accountability is maintained until disposition. Any proceeds upon disposition by sale are remitted to the location accountable for the fixed asset. Capitalization criteria for capital purchases, NAFMC, minor construction, and sustainment, restoration, and modernization (SRM) are outlined in DOD 7000.14–R. Updated guidance, including clarifications, can be found at the Army MWR web site, www.armymwr.army.mil , under Financial Management, DFAS, NAF Accounting Guidance, and/or in the heading, NAF Financial Management Guidance Accountability & Description Accountable: Cat A, B, & C activities. These are not depreciated until complete and then moved to “H” or “K” items Accountable: Cat C. Includes items such as painting, upholstery, carpeting, etc. Depreciation schedule ranges from 2 to 10 years. Major building renovations and repairs purchased with CPMC funds with a unit value of $2500 or greater. Also referred to as “H” items. Accountable: Cat C. Includes items such as roof replacement, kitchen renovations, etc. Depreciation schedule ranges from 10 to 30 years. Any category of asset purchased with CPMC funds due to a non-availability of authorized APF funds and with a unit value of $2500 or greater OR like items purchased in bulk with a unit value greater than $100 and a total cost of $2500 or greater. Also referred to as “N” items. Accountable: Cat A, B & C activities. Includes any items qualifying as a fixed asset. Depreciation schedule is discretionary. Accountability is maintained until disposition. Any proceeds upon disposition by sale are remitted to the location accountable for the fixed asset. Requires a statement of non-availability of APF funding. RECEIVING/RECEIVING REPORTS: a. Some installations have a central warehouse facility where all new equipment is to be delivered. [Insert local policy] b. Installations without centralized warehousing will normally have items delivered directly to the ordering facility. Upon receipt of accountable fixed assets, the HRH, CH, or responsible staff shall immediately open and inspect the property for overages, shortages, damages or other discrepancies. The PBO and NAF Contracting shall be notified and vendors IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 9 contacted immediately to rectify any discrepancies or plan for return shipments. This shall be noted on a DD 250, Material Inspection and Receiving Report. DO NOT wait more than 30 days to inspect shipments as most vendors will not accept returns after 30 days. c. When property is received, the HRH or designee of the receiving activity shall prepare a receiving report utilizing one of the authorized forms stated below (section d.) and forward copies to the following: NFS – to ensure payment to the contractor and balance financial statements. FMO – to maintain budget spending. PBO – to establish property accountability. NAF Contracting – to finalize the contract. (Only necessary for contractual purchases). Documentation shall be forwarded in a timely manner such that the appropriate offices will receive it within three working days of receipt of the property. d. A receiving report is comprised of any one of the following: Signed and dated DA-4066 (Purchase Order for Commercial Items). Signed and dated DA 4067-1 (Purchase Order for Supplies or Services). Signed and dated DD 1155 (Purchase Order). Signed and dated DD Form 250 (Primarily used for partial shipments or credit card purchases). Receiving report shall also include the following support documentation (if available: Vendor Invoice Vendor Receipt Vendor Packing Slip If the support documentation does not indicate the make, model, and serial number of the item(s) purchased, the receiving HRH is required to manually document this information and provide it to the PBO. This information can be handwritten on the signed and dated receiving report or support documentation. NFS requires signed and dated documents for processing payment. This is also a regulatory requirement. 2-11. STANDARD OF CONDUCT: Transactions relating to the expenditures of NAF dollars require the highest degree of trust and integrity. All NAF personnel involved with the acquisition process, accountability or disposal of NAF property must conduct themselves in a manner beyond reproach which includes treating all potential contractors impartially and without prejudice during the acquisition process. 2-12. COMMITMENTS: Only Contracting Officers and their duly authorized representatives acting within their authority are allowed to commit the NAFI with respect to the award of contracts. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY OTHER PERSONNEL MAKE COMMITMENTS OR PROMISES RELATING TO AWARDS OF CONTRACT NOR MAKE REPRESENTATIONS THAT WOULD BE CONSTRUED AS SUCH A COMMITMENT. 2-13. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: All procurement decisions and actions shall be made free of conflict of interest. A conflict of interest exists when the person selecting a contractor, placing an order, modifying a contract, performing contract administration or performing any other action has a direct or an indirect monetary interest in the business of the contractor or is in a position IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 10 to benefit because of family or other interest. Even though a conflict may not exist, NAF personnel shall avoid the appearance of such conflict. 2-14. RATIFICATIONS: Is an unauthorized commitment made by an individual who lacks proper authority for entering into a contract. Only Contracting Officers acting within the scope of their authority may enter into contracts on behalf of the NAFI. Unauthorized persons who entered or continued services without a contract must submit a Ratification Packet to the Contracting Office with formal letters from the person who made the unauthorized commitment to their supervisor and the DFMWR explaining how, what, why, and what measures will be taken to prevent this from happening again. A PR through SNACS must accompany the Ratification with Approved Funding to show that funding was available at the time. The Contracting Office will ensure all documentation is clear and concise before sending to Legal and the Chief Acquisition Officer (CAO). Once the CAO has reviewed and gives the authority to proceed, the contracting office will process the PR. The contractor has no right to collect from the NAFI until the ratification process is completed. It is possible the individual who made the unauthorized commitment could be held personally liable for the payment and/or face disciplinary actions. CHAPTER 3 Accountability 3-1. ACCOUNTABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY: PROPERTY ACCOUNTABILITY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL DFMWR EMPLOYEES. There are special responsibilities for Supervisors, HRHs, and sub-hand receipt holders. It is very important that all employees understand and take personal ownership for their responsibilities for property accountability. Responsibility implies the reasonable and prudent actions of entrusted individuals to ensure that Government property is properly used, cared for, stored, maintained, and safeguarded. Individuals in possession of or currently using government property are inherently responsible for that property while it is in their use or possession regardless of whether or not the user has signed for the property. Supervisors have the additional duty of providing overall guidance, direction and promotion of property accountability. HRHs have the direct responsibility to ensure that all property for which they are receipted is properly used, cared for, stored, maintained, and safeguarded. Sub-hand receipt holders carry these same responsibilities. 3-2. ESTABLISHMENT OF PROPERTY BOOK ACCOUNTABILITY: Per chapter 2, HRHs are responsible for providing signed and dated receiving reports with full item descriptions of all accountable property that is purchased to the PBO, FMO, NFS and Contracting within three working days of receipt. Depending upon local policy, either the HRH or the PBO will complete the FAF. The PBO will forward completed FAFs to NFS for assets to be loaded into the NAF Fixed Asset Register. It is critical that paperwork for items purchased towards the end of the month is expedited. Documents should be received by NFS no later than three working days into the following month to allow items to be loaded in the correct accounting month. 3-3. NAF FIXED ASSET REPORTING FORM: A FAF shall be completed using the following instructions. A blank copy of the form is provided below. Please note this form is available electronically as an Excel Workbook and can be downloaded at IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 11 http://www.belvoirmwr.com/Features/Employees/index.php#propAdmin. The benefit of this is simple automated data entry directly into an Excel worksheet. Worksheets can easily be copied and pasted into new worksheets when loading many similar items, eliminating the need to reinput static information from one load sheet to the next. There is no limit to the amount of load sheets you can put into one Excel Workbook. If you are authorized and equipped with ApproveIt, you can electronically sign the document which simplifies sharing and storage. For ease of data entry and to ensure uniformity, entries shall be made using ALL CAPS. At the top use an X to indicate Add, Delete, Change, or Transfer Asset. If you are transferring an asset, indicate the asset number it is moving from and the new asset number it is moving to. If only a portion of the asset is transferring to a new asset, two fixed asset updates are necessary: (1) to CHANGE the original asset and (2) to ADD item under the new asset number. Enter the appropriate cost, quantity, and item description associated with the transfer. Attach a DA Form 3161 to indicate change of ownership. Addition of Assets: When prepared by HRH, HRH shall complete the form (except for asset number), sign, date, and forward along with a copy of the receiving report to the PBO. PBO will assign asset number then forward to NFS and provide a courtesy copy to the HRH and CH. Deletion of Assets: PBO or Equivalent Only. Deletion of a fixed asset is required upon disposal action or loss of a fixed asset. A form 1348 is usually used when an asset has been disposed of. It will act as back- up documentation to remove an asset. If you are disposing of a large quantity of fixed assets, it may be more appropriate and acceptable to send a consolidated listing to NFS as opposed to completing a FAF for each asset disposed. The FAF should be used for small disposals, trade-ins, and small property losses. Note that losses require official documentation of the loss and/or copies of investigative reports. When deleting only a portion of an asset, a CHANGE update should be completed indicating the portion of the asset that remains. Be certain to include the costs related to the partial deletion if known. If not known, an estimation would be acceptable and preferred. Install Code: Enter your installation’s two digit installation code. Fund Code: Enter the appropriate three digit fund code. Civilian Employee Fund, Post Restaurant Fund and Lodging will normally have separate fund codes from DFMWR. Location Code: Enter the appropriate two digit location code. Your FMO will have a listing for all your facilities. You should enter the location code for the location that will be responsible for the asset(s) on hand receipt. Sub ledger Code: Enter the appropriate one digit sub ledger code. The sub ledger account should coincide with the GLAC used to code the purchase. These are defined at the bottom of the FAF. Asset Number: PBO Only - Enter a four digit sequential number assigned locally (example 1001, 1002, 1003, etc.). These last four digits are the unique identifier for each asset. A full asset number is comprised of 10 digits to include the Fund Code, Location Code, Sub ledger Code and Asset Number. Example: 100 62 F 2334 IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 12 Nomenclature: Enter the generic name of the item purchased. If entering a two word nomenclature, use the most generic term first, i.e., Table Cocktail. This is useful for conducting inventories with an alphabetical printout. Please note you are limited to 14 digits to enter the nomenclature. Department Code: Enter the appropriate two digit department code. This is the individual department within a specific location that the asset will be assigned. Depreciation expense will be charged to the department specified here. Physical Location: Enter the building number or other location identifier. Acquisition Cost: Enter the total cost of acquisition to include installation, freight and shipping costs less any discounts. Months to Depreciate: Enter the total number of months for the item(s) to depreciate. Depreciation schedules are required to be determined at the time of acquisition, NOT at the time of receipt. Requestors are required to designate depreciation schedules on the electronic purchase request. Every HRH must ensure the depreciation schedule is listed on the receiving report. Regulatory suggested life expectancies are listed at the bottom of the FAF. Date of Receipt: Enter the actual date that assets were received. Quantity: Self-explanatory. For automation equipment it is suggested that each component be treated separately. For example, a computer system consisting of (1) computer, (1) monitor and (1) printer should be accounted for as a quantity of (3). Description: Line B of the description is required to begin with the CPMC or UFM number (when applicable). Use all remaining space to list a full and accurate description of the asset(s) received. Make, model, and serial number are mandatory when applicable and should always be listed in the following sequence: Make, Model, then Serial Number. Certain items may not contain make, model, or serial number. Describe those items by features such as size, color, finish, etc. Each line allows a 64 digit entry. Remarks: Enter any additional instructions for NFS personnel or notes that may be useful in the accounting of the asset (i.e. item located in room 112) Signature: If completed by HRH: Sign, date, and send completed form(s) to PBO. If completed by PBO: Sign, date, and send completed form(s) to CAO/NFS. IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 13 IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 14 3-4. MONTHLY FIXED ASSET REPORT: Each month NFS will generate an updated computerized listing of all accountable fixed assets. PBOs should be able to access and download this report through OLRV (DFAS On-line Report View). If you do not have access to OLRV contact your FMO or NFS representative for an automated copy. Some installations may have systems already in place that will allow HRHs to view, print and download copies of their fixed assets electronically. For those that do not, the PBO shall provide a monthly copy to Supervisors and HRHs requesting review and reporting of discrepancies. The monthly fixed asset report is listed in order by location codes. Please note special provisions for OCONUS: Master Asset Listing as well as trial balance for reconciliation purposes is available for download at https://nafweb1.dfas.mil/default.aspx. 3-5. NAF PROPERTY MARKING: All accountable NAF property is required to be marked per AR 215-1, para. 17-12. PBOs will distribute labels for marking accountable property. Some installations may have internal capabilities for making their own labels. If property cannot be marked with labels, other methods should be used (i.e., etching, acid-marking, painting, permanent metal labels, permanent marker). 3-6. HAND RECEIPT HOLDER RESPONSIBILITIES: Assume custody of accountable government property under their jurisdiction. Take precautionary measures to safeguard accountable property. Special consideration shall be taken to secure sensitive (pilferable) items (i.e., laptops, blackberries, radios, digital cameras, etc.) by securing behind two locking devices such as the office door and then in a lockable desk drawer, cabinet, or safe when not in use. Report all accountable purchases and provide receiving reports with invoices/receipts to the PBO. Ensure 100% physical inventory of accountable property is conducted annually and/or upon change of HRH. Report asset discrepancies and inventory variances to PBO. Ensure accountable property is clearly marked and identifiable. Initiate property transfers and/or disposals on DA Form 3161 and forward original copy to PBO for processing. Sub-hand receipt property to users utilizing DA Form 2062 and update annually. Notify Police, Supervisor, and PBO when property is lost, stolen or damaged. Provide written notification of property losses, damages, or larcenies IAW AR 215-1, chapter 18, Appendix M and AR 735-5. 3-7. PROPERTY BOOK OFFICER RESPONSIBILITIES: Below are primary PBO duties. Please note that for OCONUS installations some of these duties may be carried out by the Central Accounting Office (CAO) which interfaces with NFS. Prepare, edit, file, and forward fixed asset load sheets to CAO/NFS for posting deletions, additions, and changes to the Monthly Fixed Asset Report. Follow-up to ensure transactions are posted accordingly. Schedule, coordinate, and brief teams for required annual inventories. (May be performed by CAO). Review inventories and investigate discrepancies prior to forwarding to CAO/NFS for reconciliation and processing. Prepare and/or ensure supporting documentation is provided for reported discrepancies. Prepare and/or coordinate transfers and forward to NFS for processing. This may involve the administration of the transfer and/or the physical coordination of the transfer. IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 15 Provide property labels to HRHs. Ensure authorities are notified of property losses, damages or larcenies. Initiate and coordinate required investigations for lost, damaged or stolen property. Coordinate and perform hand receipt maintenance. Administer, prepare and maintain hand receipt accounts. Scrub and validate the annual Review of Insured Exposures and update as necessary. 3-8. HAND RECEIPT PROCEDURES: Hand Receipt Holders are assigned by Duty Appointments generated from Division Chiefs or the DFMWR. A hand receipt is a listing of nonexpendable and/or controlled expendable items that have been issued to an individual or activity. Hand receipts within DFMWR are maintained using an automated hand receipt generated from NFS or the PBO. DA Form 1687, Delegation of Authority, is required from all HRHs to delegate who within their purview is authorized to transact supply actions. DA Form 1687 must be on file with the PBO and NFS and updated when personnel changes are made. TEMPORARY DUTY HRH: Shall be appointed by Division Chief or DFMWR when a current HRH is separated from duty for more than 30 calendar days or when the current HRH will be permanently separated from duty and a new permanent HRH will not be appointed prior to the departure of the current HRH. Current HRHs shall notify their respective Division Chief and the PBO at the earliest possible notice of an impending separation from duty. PERMANENT DUTY HRH: Shall be appointed by Division Chief or DFMWR when a current HRH is permanently separated from duty. Outgoing HRH and Incoming HRH will be required to conduct a 100% Joint Physical inventory. PBOs will request inventories from NFS and provide working copies for conducting inventories. The PBO will brief instructions for properly completing inventories within 30 days. A physical inventory requires for ALL property to be physically seen and touched and item descriptions verified for accuracy. Serviceability of property shall be assessed at time of inventory. Excess and non-serviceable equipment shall be annotated for disposal or reutilization. Failure of an outgoing HRH to conduct a joint inventory does not relieve him or her of responsibility. Division Chiefs shall appoint either a Temporary Duty or Permanent Duty HRH to replace the outgoing HRH as soon as they are notified of a departing HRH. Responsibility remains with the outgoing HRH until such time as either a Temporary Duty or New Permanent HRH conducts and signs for the inventory. An incoming appointed HRH or Activity Manager automatically becomes responsible for all government property on the hand receipt after 30 days of his/her assignment whether he/she has signed a hand receipt or not. Responsibility reverts to the Division Chief upon failure to appoint a Temporary or Permanent HRH. TEMPORARY HAND RECEIPT PROCEDURES: Property that is issued on a temporary basis up to 30 calendar days shall be documented on DA Form 3161. If the need continues beyond 30 days, a new DA Form 3161 shall be issued or converted to DA Form 2062 or transferred permanently to the location of the user if it appears the need will go beyond an additional 30 days. Upon return of property loaned on a DA 3161, the original and user copy of the DA 3161 shall be destroyed. IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 16 SUB-HAND RECEIPT PROCEDURES: Property that is issued on a permanent basis may be sub-hand receipted from the HRH to the individual user on DA Form 2062. It does not transfer direct responsibility nor relieve the HRH of his/her duties. DA Form 2062s should be updated at least once annually. Original copy should be kept by the HRH and a duplicate copy kept by sub HRH. Loans of equipment outside of DFMWR Activities must be authorized by the DFMWR. TRANSFERS OF PROPERTY: Use DA Form 3161 to document transfers of equipment between activities. The losing HRH shall prepare the form and sign in block 13. The gaining HRH shall complete the Supply Action column indicating the quantity of assets received and sign in block 15. The DA 3161 is then forwarded to the PBO to process the transaction. PBO signs in block 14. Any remaining depreciation will transfer to the gaining hand receipt. The HRH or the PBO shall complete a FAF to document the transfer. The PBO shall forward the FAF and the DA Form 3161 to NFS for posting. CHANGE DOCUMENTS: The official maintenance of a hand receipt is the responsibility of the PBO. All entries to the hand receipts (additions, deletions, changes etc.) will be made by the PBO or designated representative. Official changes to hand receipt accounts will not be made outside the NAF Property Book office. Making annotations on the hand receipt does not constitute an official change. Adjustments will only be made using the appropriate supporting documentation. All documentation will be verified prior to adjustments being made to the hand receipt. 3-9. INVENTORIES: An inventory is a physical count of accountable property on hand. All items listed on hand receipt shall be marked with an ID label that will be used to physically identify assets against the inventory. Certain types of equipment, due to size, composition, or other reasons cannot be marked. However, every effort should be made to mark each accountable item. A 100% physical inventory of NAF accountable property is required annually. It is required that a disinterested party observes the physical inventory bi-annually. An inventory is also required upon change of HRH and/or change of Fund Manager. Large installations or installations with very large inventories may opt to conduct cyclic inventories (i.e. conducting 25% quarterly). Working copies should be used to conduct the inventory. Discrepancies shall be reported in writing to the PBO. If changes are made, a new original will be printed. Hand receipt holders are required to sign and date a clean copy of the inventory. No annotations are to be made to the final signed copy. The final signed copy shall be forward to NFS, one file copy to PBO, and one file copy to HRH. 3-10. ACCOUNTING FOR LOST, DAMAGED, OR DESTROYED PROPERTY: For purposes of this guide, the term “property loss” includes all NAF property that is lost, damaged, or destroyed by causes other than fair wear and tear. This may involve natural disasters, hostile action, mysterious disappearance, theft, or similar causes. Losses of NAF property shall be documented and reported IAW AR 215-1, chapter 18 and Appendix M. Investigations, if required shall be documented and reported IAW AR 735-5 (Financial Liability Investigation) or AR 15-6. Regardless of circumstance of loss, immediate action shall ALWAYS be taken at the moment of discovery to report lost, damaged or destroyed NAF Property. If theft or foul play is suspected, the Installation Police shall be notified immediately and a report filed. Notification shall be initiated by the highest ranking on-duty staff member. Initiator must also notify the chain of command immediately and include Supervisor, HRH, and PBO. Incidents of a very serious IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 17 nature (involving large monetary loss, damage or destruction) shall be reported immediately to the DFMWR. Once notified, the DFMWR has the responsibility of notifying RIMP within the proper time limits. • Anything that is over $5000 in damages, within 24 hours • Anything less than $5000 in damages, 60 days from notification Regardless of who initiates the initial reporting, the HRH shall prepare a written report which will include the following information: • • • • • • • Date and time item(s) first noticed missing, or damaged. Location item(s) are missing from. Full description of item(s) lost, damaged or destroyed, to include the NAF Asset number, Make, Model and Serial number(s). Asset Value: Replacement cost less allowable depreciation or at fair market value as verified with commercial sources. Controlled expendables will be valued at original cost less depreciation. Cost of repair, if item is damaged, but repairable. Circumstances surrounding the loss (What, Where, When, How) and any supporting documentation (rental agreements, SOP’s, Hand Receipts). Other information that might help determine the cause of loss (i.e. photographs, witness statements). Installations may use a locally prescribed form to document loss, memo format or DD Form 200 (Financial Liability Investigation). PBO’s will forward the report to the DFMWR for recommendation of further investigation or no investigation required. DFMWR will make final decision as to whether further investigation is required. Copies of report shall also be provided to the FMO who will forward claims of reimbursement to RIMP for insurance claims when authorized. Property will be retained on the Fixed Asset Report until the Report of Loss is approved and/or after all investigations are complete. If liability is admitted, cash payment can be made to the NAFI in the amount of the loss immediately and property removed from accountability. Relief of property may also be obtained as determined from an AR 15-6 Investigation or replacement of the NAF asset with an approved item purchased with personal funds. Instances where liability is not admitted will require either a Financial Liability Investigation (See AR 735-5) or an AR 15-6 investigation. Investigations are required when evidence shows gross negligence, fraud, dishonesty, willful misconduct, or amount of loss exceeds $2,000 in value. The DFMWR has the authority to also order investigations if there are repeated losses of lowcost items. Investigations must be completed no later than six (6) months after the loss is discovered. For losses or damage of loaned or rented property where the entrusted individual admits liability and is willing to pay for the lost item(s) either by cash or by payroll deduction, have the entrusted individual contact the FMO to make payment and the PBO to obtain relief from accountability. PBOs will use receipt of payment to process and remove lost item(s) from hand receipt. If liability is not admitted, proceed with a Financial Liability Investigation per AR 735-5 or an AR 15-6 investigation. The investigative requirements for loss below $2,000 where the circumstances outlined above do not exist may be satisfied with final reports of authorities such as Installation Police, CID, or Fire Marshal. IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 18 Claims against contractors or commercial entities should be processed in accordance with AR 27-20, AR 27-40 and AR 215-4, Chapter 1, Section II and III. Factors that will be considered in determining pecuniary liability are as follows: 1. Simple negligence is defined as the failure to act as a reasonably prudent person would have under similar circumstances. 2. Gross negligence is defined as an extreme departure from accepted standards accompanied with a recklessness or wanton disregard of the consequences of the act or omission. 3. Willful misconduct is an intentional act contrary to or a willful failure to do something required by law, regulation, or prudence. Misappropriation and theft both fall under this category. 4. Proximate cause. A determination that a person is negligent or has committed an act of willful misconduct is not sufficient cause to hold him or her financially liable unless the evidence indicates that the misconduct or negligence was the proximate cause of the loss, damage or destruction. Proximate cause is defined as the cause that, in a natural and continuous sequence, unbroken by a new cause, produces the loss or damage, and without which the loss or damage would not have occurred. 5. If the investigating officer concludes that actions or omissions by responsible individuals constitute a departure from the standards of care expected, the Report of Proceeding (DA Form 1574) should specifically state the factors that led to this conclusion. The findings should also explain any mitigating circumstances that may influence a determination of financial liability. 3-11. FINANCIAL LIABILITY: Investigations can render entrusted individual(s) liable for the entire amount of the loss or for a reduced amount if mitigating circumstances exist, or that individual(s) be relieved of financial responsibility. If a claim payment has been made to the NAF under RIMP coverage, individuals involved will be relieved of financial responsibility if the loss is not due to negligence. This policy is consistent with commercial insurance practice of risk transfer that does not hold insured persons using insured property with permission liable for loss. If other than simple negligence has been determined to cause a covered loss, the DFMWR may find the individual financially responsible. RIMP is entitled to first right of recovery. If a RIMP claim is denied based on circumstances such as intentional acts or willful misconduct or exclusion from RIMP coverage, the Appeal Authority (Garrison Commander) reserves the right to hold individual employees or users financially responsible for the loss. Limits of liability. AR 735-5, para 13-39 lists the individuals/entities who may be assessed the full amount of the Government’s loss minus amounts charged to others. In all other cases, the amount equal to one month’s basic pay at the time of the loss, or the actual amount of the loss to the Government, whichever is less, will be assessed. When two or more individuals/entities are held jointly liable, computation of their individual charge can be accomplished using AR 7355, table 12-4. IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 19 Individual(s) who are recommended for financial liability must be notified in writing of such action and be given the chance to submit rebuttals IAW AR 215-1 for additional consideration. Reconsiderations that do not result in relief from accountability or responsibility will continue with an appeal process per AR 215-1. The Appeal Authority will determine final actions to be taken. 3-12. COLLECTIONS: The preferred method of collecting liability assessments is a voluntary negotiated agreement for payment in a single cash transaction, where possible, or regular partial payments over a reasonable period of time. If a voluntary agreement cannot be negotiated, procedures specified in AR 215-1, appendix M are used. If neither of the above is successful, then involuntary pay deduction is initiated in accordance with the following procedures, as appropriate: a. Military Personnel: The fund manager will provide the finance office/defense accounting office (FO/DAO) with a copy of the complete report and Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) will process the debt per AR 37-104-4. If the soldier is in the process of being separated, and the debt has not been paid, the debt will be considered in settlement of final pay. Enlisted soldiers may seek cancellation or remission of indebtedness under AR 600-4. b. NAF Employees: Payroll deduction will be in accordance with AR 215-3. The fund manager will forward a copy of the collection notification to the payroll office unless there is an appeal by the employee. The amount deducted in any one pay period must be reasonable in terms of net pay and, generally, should be sufficient to satisfy the debt over a period of 5 to 10 pay periods. c. APF Civilian Employees: A copy of the complete Report of Loss will be forwarded to the employee’s supervisor who, in turn, may refer it to the servicing CPAC for action under appropriated civilian personnel regulations. d. Other Persons: Collections will be processed as claims in favor of the United States under the provisions of AR 27-20 or under terms of an applicable contract. CHAPTER 4 DISPOSITION 4-1. METHODS OF DISPOSITION: The final disposition and relief of accountability and responsibility for a NAF Fixed Asset occurs in one of the followings ways: In-house Reutilization or Transfer to other Installations. Asset is sold to the Public by means of an Auction, Fixed Price Sale, Open Bid Sale or Closed Bid Sale. Asset is traded-in towards the purchase of a new asset. Contractual removal and disposal of asset when purchasing new asset. Item is disposed of through local Recycling Programs. Items are disposed of through local landfills or dumps. IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 20 Asset is disposed of to the closest supporting DLADS IAW DoD 4160.21-M and DRMS-I 4160.14. Item is reported as lost, stolen, or damaged and has supporting documentation (Police report, Investigation report, witness statements, etc.) to confirm the loss. Disposal of Abandoned Property requires special considerations that will be discussed in-depth in this chapter. This guidebook does not address APF Property, however, APF property is generally disposed of through your installation DOL following whatever procedures and guidance they have provided. Some installation DOLs may provide service for the disposal of installation NAF Property as well. 4.2 LOCAL DISPOSAL POLICY: Due to the unique nature of Installations, each Installation NAF PBO shall generate a local Disposal Policy which shall include how to initiate and submit disposal requests, requirements and support for the physical disposal of assets, monthly scheduling, and any special requirements such as handling of Freon with refrigerated equipment. In general, Installations shall adhere to the following procedures, exceptions may be made in unique circumstances. 4.3 INITIATION OF DISPOSAL REQUEST: A Hand Receipt Holder, or individual designated on signature card shall prepare a DA Form 3161 listing all assets requested for disposal and submit to the NAF PBO. These requests may be submitted electronically or by hard copy. The originator of the request shall sign and date the document in the lower left hand corner (block 13). Electronic submissions can be signed using your common access card (CAC). Each request requires the following information: • • • • NAF Asset Number. Full Item Description to include Make, Model and Serial Number. Quantity being disposed and Unit of Issue . Signature and Date in lower left corner (block 13). The Activity requesting disposal shall take the following actions to expedite the disposal: • Consolidate property that is being disposed to one general pick-up area (if possible). • Property should be clean and ready for pick-up. Items with excessive grease and grime will not be accepted. • Automation equipment must be wiped clean of all data and be labeled as such. • Items requiring assembly, disassembly, or moving of peripheral equipment or structures must be accomplished prior to schedule of property pick-up. • Refrigerated equipment that is not being offered for resale, must have the Freon removed prior to disposal. Removal of the Freon must be formally documented. 4-4. DETERMINATION OF FINAL DISPOSITION: Determination of final disposition shall be made by the PBO in conjunction with HRHs, Supervisors, Division Chiefs, and Directors. IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 21 Installations shall first pursue every opportunity for reutilization to in-house DFMWR agencies or to neighboring Installations. 4-5. SALES: Items that cannot be reutilized elsewhere shall then be considered either for trade-in at a discount towards replacement purchases or sold at a profit to authorized DFMWR patrons, the public, civilian businesses, or the local community affected by base realignment and closure (BRAC). Sales can be conducted at the installation through several methods: PUBLIC AUCTION: Public auction should be considered for items that will generate high-interest and expected high-dollar returns. Items are sold to the highest bidder through a verbal bidding process. Awards are made on the spot and customers may purchase and remove items immediately. Conducted by NAF PBO or contracted out with local auctioneer. FIXED PRICE SALE: Items are offered to the public with a pre-established price on a first-come, first-served basis. This type of sale is useful for items with an expected low-dollar return. Pricing should be established at fair market value with considerations made for depreciation by the PBO in conjunction with the FMO and/or Fund Manager. Items shall be clearly labeled with price tags and customers may purchase and remove items immediately. Also referred to as a “Cash and Carry” sale. OPEN/CLOSED BID SALES: If hiring an auctioneer is not feasible, an open or closed bid sale should be considered. A closed bid sale allows customers to submit a secret bid in a sealed envelope that will be opened at an established time and place. The bidder who submits the highest bid is awarded the asset. An open bid sale provides bidders to openly see the bidding process and the last highest bid. The bidding process continues until there are no customers willing to outbid the highest bid on the table. It is recommended to establish a minimal starting bid price and establish minimal bid jumps for this type of sale. It is allowable to conduct a sale that combines the different methods of sale. For example, if you have both high-interest, high-dollar items and low-dollar, low-interest items, you can serve both needs at once. The allowance of a storage/pick-up period for customers shall be determined prior to the sale and clearly published and advertised. All sales should be advertised at least 15 days prior to the sale. Advertisements shall clearly state there are no implied warrantees or refunds and that all items are sold “as is, where is,” buyer assumes all risks. No property shall be sold prior to the sale date. Items that are not sold may be re-offered to customers, businesses, or contractors at reduced price for quick removal. Sales of Vehicles will be documented on Standard Form 97, United States Government Certificate to Obtain Title to a Vehicle. Each installation must determine and advertise accepted means of payment, dates and time of the sale, and provide photographs, item descriptions of the items offered for sale. Promotion through DFMWR websites is recommended and strongly encouraged. Please note special provisions for OCONUS: Sale of surplus goods requires US Customs approval. Need to plan at least 90 days out and allow for US Customs inspection of surplus goods. Sale of vehicles also requires prior coordination with a Vehicle Registration office. If the sale is open to the host nation, only fixed price sales may be conducted. Need to plan at least 120 days out for US and Host Nation Customs inspection. The PBO and/or other support staff will document all sales with customer receipts and forward documentation to NFS for removal of items from the Fixed Asset Register. Items needed to properly conduct a sale would include the following: • Auction Listing IMCOM Asset Management Handbook • Bid Sheets/Cards April 2012 Page 22 • • • • • • • • • Blank Property Labels Calculator Cash Register(s)/Cashier(s) Change Fund Directional Street Signs Lock Box & Envelopes (for Closed Bids) Pens/Markers Receipt Books Registration Forms IMCOM Asset Management Handbook April 2012 Page 23 4-6. TRADE-INS: Large equipment should be considered for trade-ins towards purchases of replacement items. See Section 2-3. 4-7. RECYCLING: Items that cannot be disposed of through other means shall be recycled to the extent possible through Installation or local community Recycling Centers. Items shall be documented in writing and approved by the Director. Documentation is to be provided from the PBO to NFS for removal of property book items. 4-8. DLADS/LOCAL DUMP OR LANDFILL: The aforementioned disposal methods should be used first to the extent possible to dispose of NAF assets that still have intrinsic value. Items with no serviceability or little to no value shall be be turned-in to the nearest DLADS or disposed of locally to a dump or landfill. Items turned in to DLADS should be documented on DA 1348-1 or submitted electronically through the DLA Electronic Turn-in Document (ETID) system. Contact your local DLADS for disposal scheduling, full procedures and sample forms and the ETID system can be found at: http://www.drms.dla.mil/. Items disposed of locally are to be documented by the PBO on the enclosed Disposal Certification Letter and verified by signature of the DFMWR. 4-9. LOST, DAMAGED, OR DESTROYED: Procedures to handle lost, damaged, or destroyed assets are outlined in Section 3-10. 4-10. REPORTING DISPOSITION: Regardless of which disposition method is used, all dispositions must be documented and provided to CAO/NFS for removal from formal accountability. Documentation may be provided with an automated listing of items disposed of, a Fixed Asset Reporting Form, a DA Form 3161, or a locally prescribed Disposal Certification Form, such as Form 1348. APPENDIX A STANDARD NAF AUTOMATED CONTRACTING SYSTEM (SNACS) A-1. As of this publication, the SNACS quick guide reference is undergoing a major revision.

This form is available through the General Services Administration (GSA) in hard copy only. This is an accountable form and must be strictly controlled. • Completion of the form is straight forward and self-explanatory. The certificate number is a local number generated by the PBO. The transferor and transferor signature will also be the PBO. • A Standard Form 97 will be issued to the buyer of each motor vehicle sold. It is not a motor vehicle registration or title. It is evidence of title only and is to be used by the purchaser to obtain a proper state motor vehicle registration and title. SF 97 will be used only when motor vehicles owned by the U.S. Government are sold to parties who intend to title the vehicle for operation on highways. • All U.S. Government Owned Vehicles do not have conventional State Titles; they have what is referred to as a Standard Form 97. The Federal Government cannot title a vehicle in only one state due to the fact the government is in every state. This is similar to brand new vehicles you buy through a car dealership, which come with a Certificate of Origin. When you gain ownership of a previously owned U.S. Government vehicle all you need to do is take the Standard Form 97 with the Bill of Sale to your local State Department of Motor Vehicles and apply for a Title.
