Detagging of Controlled Property
Monday, October 22nd, 2012The DOE threshold for barcoding controlled property has risen from $5K to $10k, and around 4,500 assets are now eligible for “detagging.” Division Property Representatives and Coordinators have begun peeling away the barcode tags and replacing them with orange DOE/LBL U.S. “Govt Prop.” labels. The barcodes are being forwarded to Property Management for retirement in Sunflower, the formal property system. Although no longer subject to inventory, these government assets must still be protected from misuse, loss, theft, or unauthorized removal from the Laboratory. For information about property responsibilities at Berkeley Lab, contact your Division Property Representative or e-mail the Property Group. More>
