What is the typical disposition for unserviceable property in a storage operation?

• A. Repair, disposal, or turn-in.
• B. Store indefinitely as is.
• C. Issue to others as serviceable.
• D. Convert to backorder stock.

Answer: (A)

When handling storage inventory, unserviceable property should be addressed by repairing if possible, disposing of it if it cannot be repaired, or turning it in to the supply system. If the item can be repaired, it goes through the maintenance/repair process to restore it to serviceable status and return it to stock. If it isn’t repairable, it’s disposed of or salvaged according to regulations. Turning it in moves it out of unit stock for proper disposal or reuse by others. Keeping unserviceable items indefinitely wastes space, and you wouldn’t issue them as serviceable or convert them to backorder stock since they aren’t fit for issue.
