Terminology Suspension –Term has unique meanings and in our perspective, ties to requirements in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) for suspension and debarrment –Should refer to “deferring” any requests for property; eligibility to receive donations” –Similar language in FMR when GSA is dealing with SASPs • § 102 -37. 170 What happens if a SASP does not operate in accordance with its plan? • If a SASP does not operate in accordance with its plan, GSA may withhold allocation and transfer of surplus property until the nonconformance is corrected. • 2
