Invention:
This technology, known as the FedExProp App, is a web application that seeks to help users manage Federal Property and comply with USDA and other Federal Agency reporting requirements associated with the Federal Excess Property Program (FEPP). This easy-to-use application allows users to efficiently search for and update records for the property in their possession. This includes the ability to add pictures to the record. The purpose of the application is to make the extensive record keeping required of users of the FEPP more simple by providing this new interface.
