What is Reutilization Transfers Donation 2 (RTD2) Blue light?
The procedure applies only to military property located at Defense Reutilization and Marketing Offices (DRMOs). It does not apply to property reported by civilian agencies. Blue Light — also known as RTD2 — is the 2-day screening period that takes place after the period of GSA allocation. As such, it is the Thursday and Friday that follow the Surplus Release Date (SRD). The specific problem addressed by Blue Light occurs when a Federal agency is allocated and transferred property by GSA and then fails to pick it up. At that point, the Federal agency must notify GSA that it no longer wants the item so GSA can cancel the requisition. Upon cancellation, GSA will allocate the item to another customer, if there were any activities that processed the item through checkout in GSAXcess® which showed interest in the item prior to the transfer. If there are no indications of interest in GSAXcess® and the 21-day screening period has passed, and the Defense Reutilization Marketing Office (DRMO)
