4. Federal Acquisition Service The Computers For Learning Program The Computers For Learning (CFL) Program evolved as a guide for implementing Executive Order 12999, Educational Technology: Ensuring Opportunity for all Children in the Next Century. The CFL website enables schools and educational nonprofit organizations to obtain excess computer equipment from federal agencies. Federal agencies can report their excess computers and related peripheral equipment to GSA through the GSAXcess® website. Eligible recipients can view and request the available federal excess property at the CFL website.
5. Federal Acquisition Service Executive Order 12999: Educational Technology: Ensuring Opportunity for All Children in the Next Century In order to ensure that American children have the skills they need to succeed in the information-intensive 21st century, the Federal Government is committed to working with the private sector to promote four major developments in American education: making modern computer technology an integral part of every classroom; providing teachers with the professional development they need to use new technologies effectively; connecting classrooms to the National Information Infrastructure; and encouraging the creation of excellent educational software. This Executive order streamlines the transfer of excess and surplus Federal computer equipment to our Nation's classrooms and encourages Federal employees to volunteer their time and expertise to assist teachers and to connect classrooms.

Federal Acquisition Service EO 12999 definitions "Schools" means individual public or private education institutions encompassing prekindergarten through twelfth grade, as well as public school districts. "Community-based educational organizations" means nonprofit entities that are engaged in collaborative projects with schools or that have education as their primary focus. Such organizations shall qualify as educational non-profit institutions or organizations for purposes of section 203(j) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended. "Educationally useful Federal equipment" means computers and related peripheral tools (e.g., printers, modems, routers, and servers), including telecommunications and research equipment, that are appropriate for use in prekindergarten, elementary, middle, or secondary school education.

13. Federal Acquisition Service How CFL is different from normal screening? Property reported by federal agencies normally goes through 21 days* of federal and state screening. However, when computers are reported, the first 7 days of the screening are reserved for selection by schools and educational nonprofits. This essentially gives schools and nonprofits the first crack at obtaining the excess property. *Screening period exceptions: Computers and Furniture have a standard 14 days of screening.
14. Federal Acquisition Service Federal Supply Group 70 Computers and related peripheral equipment falls under Federal Supply Group (FSG) 70. The specific FSG is required when an agency reports the property in GSAXcess®. The FSG is how the system knows to put the property through CFL screening. CFL screening is optional, however it is the default for anything reported under FSG 70.
