Asset Management

Disposition of Disputed Vehicles

Vehicles that have undergone a complete dispute resolution process and were approved for retention are exempt from further identification as vehicles on future Utilization Target Lists for a period of 3 years. However, such vehicles should still be considered for exchange with higher mileage units of a similar type whenever possible in order to “balance” utilization for the overall fleet. Where applicable, excess GSA vehicles shall be turned in to GSA as soon as possible. The NASA Agency Transportation Manager shall be notified when this action is complete and records have been updated.
