This directive establishes the proper methods of identifying, decaling, and maintaining federal property.
Federal property is a special kind of tangible property. UF acquires federal property several ways. Federal Property can be purchased with a federal grant or contract, loaned to UF from a federal agency, or donated to UF by a federal agency. The federal government requires this property to be tracked, so it will have an orange decal AND may also have a white federal decal.
UF uses 3 special codes at the beginning of the tag number to identify federal property:
