2. Allocation of Proceeds (if material is to be sold): to allocate the net proceeds to the account of the unit releasing the property.
3. Donating the surplus materiel: to donate surplus materiel to educational institutions, other governmental bodies, or non-profit organizations when it is determined that the market value of the excess materiel is below the costs required for handling, record keeping, storage, and other costs associated with trade or sale.
