§104901 Central Warehouses at System Units

Summary

The Secretary can keep and run central warehouses at System units. Money set aside for running, protecting, maintaining, and improving those units can be used to buy supplies for those warehouses. The warehouses must give out supplies at cost, including shipping and handling, to projects that need them. Funds can be moved between those appropriations so the part that uses the supplies pays for them. Supplies left at the end of a fiscal year can still be used later and paid for from the current year's funds without reducing that year’s total. Supplies must not be bought just to raise stock beyond what is reasonably needed for the year.
