Standard Form 114C (SF 114C): General Sale Terms and Conditions
Standard Form 114C (SF 114C), Sale of Government Property, General Sale Terms and Conditions, is a nine-page set of terms for sales of government property. The footer says it is prescribed by GSA FPMR (41 CFR) 101-45.3, and GSA hosts a copy in its forms library.
Pages 1 to 4 hold 25 numbered General Sale Terms and Conditions, from inspection and payment to default, eligibility of bidders and definitions. Page 5 is a Privacy Act Notice. Pages 6 to 9 add Special Sealed Bid Conditions, Special Sealed Bid - Term Conditions, Special Spot Bid Conditions and Special Auction Conditions. Many conditions apply unless otherwise provided in the Invitation.
The only blanks are the Invitation for Bids number and the page number at the top of each page. Page 1 and pages 5 to 9 are headed DO NOT RETURN WITH BID. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.

Questions about Form SF114C
Who issues SF 114C?
The footer says the form is prescribed by GSA FPMR (41 CFR) 101-45.3, in the Rev. 4/2001 edition. GSA hosts a copy in its forms library.
Is SF 114C returned with a bid?
Page 1 and pages 5 to 9 are headed DO NOT RETURN WITH BID. SF 114E, the negotiated sales contract, incorporates SF 114C by reference.
Is the property sold as is?
Condition 2 says that unless otherwise provided in the Invitation, all property listed is offered for sale as is and where is, and the Government makes no warranty as to its quantity, kind, character, quality, weight, size, description or fitness for any use. It also says this is not a sale by sample.
What forms of bid deposit does SF 114C accept?
Condition 4 says that unless the Invitation provides otherwise, deposits and payments are in U.S. currency or any form of credit instruments other than promissory notes, made payable on demand in U.S. currency. It adds that uncertified personal or business checks must be first party instruments.
What happens if the purchaser does not pay or remove the property?
Condition 9 says the Government may send a 15-day written notice of default. If the default is not cured, the Purchaser loses all right, title and interest in that property, and the Government may retain or collect the greater of 20 percent of the purchase price or $25 as liquidated damages.
Can the quantity delivered differ from the quantity sold?
Condition 12 says that unless the Invitation provides otherwise, the Government may vary the quantity by 10 percent, or the weight by 25 percent when property is sold by weight, with the price adjusted. The term sale conditions raise this to 50%.
Which other forms does SF 114C mention?
It names Standard Form 97, the certificate of release for motor vehicles and equipment requiring licensing by a State motor vehicle regulatory agency, Standard Forms 150 and 151, the deposit bonds for sales of government personal property, and Standard Form 25, a performance bond that may replace a term sale bid deposit.
