Standard Form 123 (SF 123), Transfer Order Surplus Personal Property, is a U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) form. Its footer prints STANDARD FORM 123 (REV. 6/2025) and Prescribed by GSA FMR (41 CFR) 102-37, with OMB Control Number 3090-0014. GSA hosts it in its forms library.

The form is a transfer order for surplus personal property going to donation. Its order types are State Agency, DOD (SEA) for a service educational activity, and FAA for a public airport.

Pages 2 and 3 print the certifications, agreements and assurances the transferee makes.
