COMDTINST 16477.5
c
Residents of CG housing, which are collocated with a QRP facility, may contribute non-
hazardous recyclable materials to the QRP. Residents of off-base housing may contribute
non-hazardous recyclables to a QRP, where approved by the unit's commanding officer, and
when not in conflict with local recycling programs.
d Smaller QRPs are encouraged to pool their recyclable resources with larger QRPs to
capitalize on bulk sales and enchance marketability. Most recycling facilities or brokers are
interested in bulk product, and offer a better price when the materials are segregated,
compacted or bound, and free of contaminants.
e
This policy is not intended to interfere with any existing CG NAF (non-appropriated funds)
or GSA building recycling activities.
7. SALE OF RECYCLABLE MATERIALS.
a
General. Any sale of recyclable materials by CG units shall be in accordance with reference
(d). All materials sold must be recyclable materials from the operations of the QRP unit(s)
and/or its CG tenants and be properly surveyed and authorized for disposal. Units may sell
recyclable materials only if the sale is expected to result in proceeds or benefits (including
cost avoidance) that equal or exceed the cost of operating expenses or disposal.
b Sales greater than ,000. Sales with anticipated proceeds exceeding ,000 for any one
sale (combining all the types of recyclable materials sold) will normally be conducted by
the GSA Regional Office or through local DRMO. Prior agreement with GSA and DRMO
should be made regarding appropriate administrative procedures for CG retention of sales
proceeds.
c
Sales less than ,000. Limited sales can be conducted in accordance with references (d)
and (e) by CG units using competitive "sealed bid" methods, provided the expectied sale
proceeds do not exceed ,000.
(1) Sealed Bid Sales - The selling unit shall advertise and solicit bids (preferably 3) for the
sale of the recyclable materials. Bidders are required to submit sealed bids on items to
be sold, after inspecting the material's condition. The selling unit chooses the bid most
advantageous to the government and executes a sales contract.
