The purpose of this Electronic-District Personnel Manual (E-DPM) instruction is to establish uniform District government-wide procedures for subordinate agencies to follow to account for District government property issued to employees and contractors providing services to subordinate agencies, and reclaim such property when agency employees and contractors separate from District government service.

The procedures herein were drafted in response to the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Management Alert Report (MAR) (MAR-1-ID-2010) “concerning the need for uniform, District-wide procedures for agencies to account for District government property issued to employees and reclaim such property when employees separate from District government service.” [MAR-ID-2010 is dated March 29, 2010, and may be accessed electronically at OIG’s website, at www.oig.d.c.gov.]

The procedures were drafted in collaboration with the Office of Contracting and Procurement, and are being disseminated via the D.C. Department of Human Resources (DCHR) “DPM Issuance System” to ensure that subordinate agencies are aware of and follow these procedures.
