GSA Form 2553: Vehicle Capitalization, Repair, and Disposal Request and Authorization
GSA Form 2553 is the Vehicle Capitalization, Repair, and Disposal Request and Authorization. The footer reads GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION and GSA 2553 (REV. 12/2019), and GSA hosts it in its forms library. GSA's forms page lists a current revision date of 12/2019 and no authority or regulation.
The one-page form has TO and FROM blocks, a zone number and a region or Fleet Management Center number, then a request: an action (capitalize, repair or disposal) and a reason (extend life, purchase accessory or vehicle modification, uneconomical to repair, or other). It asks for vehicle details, option rate codes, current and new capitalized values, the estimated cost, the NADA retail value or GSA book value, and the maintenance expenditure limit if applicable. An authorizing official marks it approved or disapproved and signs.
