Government furnished property (GFP) is arguably the most misunderstood supply and accountability function within the Army.

Department of Defense (DOD) Instruction 5000.64, Accountability and Management of DOD Equipment and Other Accountable Property, defines GFP as 'any property in the possession of, or directly acquired by, the Government and subsequently furnished to the contractor (to include sub-contractors and alternate locations) for performance of a contract.'
