SMALL BUSINESS

DLA Disposition Services disposes of excess property received from the military services. The inventory changes daily and 

includes thousands of items: from air conditioners to vehicles, clothing to computers, and much more. That property is first 

offered for reutilization within the Department of Defense (DoD), transfer to other federal agencies, or donation to state and 

local governments and other qualified organizations. 

Support for the U.S. military. DLA Disposition Services supports the Nation’s military wherever they are called to 

serve. They are part of the worldwide presence within DoD, with people serving in 16 foreign countries, two U.S. territories 

(Guam and Puerto Rico) and 41 states.

Selling DoD surplus property. DLA Disposition Services manages the DoD surplus 

property sales program. Excess property that is not reutilized, transferred or donated may 

be sold to the public. The property, no longer needed by the government, is only sold if it is 

appropriate and safe for sale to the general public.

Hazardous Property Disposal. DLA Disposition Services manages the disposal of 

hazardous property for DoD activities, maximizing the use of each item and minimizing 

environmental risks and costs through monitored compliant disposal. 

Demilitarization as condition of sale. Certain property is demilitarized (i.e., rendered 

useless for its originally intended purpose). Surplus property with inherent military 

characteristics must undergo "demil." Offensive and defensive weapons and associated 

material are demilitarized prior to sale of scrap residue or as a condition of sale of scrap 

residue. 

Special programs. A Resource Recovery and Recycling Program conserves natural 

resources, reduces waste products and returns revenue to the military services. Through 

recycling, the Precious Metals Recovery Program significantly reduces the need for DoD to 

purchase metals such as gold, silver and platinum family metals through recycling of excess 

and surplus scrap containing precious metals.
