Standard Form 1423 (SF 1423): Inventory Verification Survey

Standard Form 1423 (SF 1423), Inventory Verification Survey, is a two-page survey form. The footer says it is prescribed by GSA under FAR (48 CFR) 53.245(c), the authority GSA's page also lists, and GSA hosts it in its forms library. The edition printed on the form is STANDARD FORM 1423 (REV. 10/2023), and the heading points to the Federal Acquisition Regulation at FAR 45.602-1(b)(1).

Section I names the offices the survey goes from and to, the contract number and type, the contractor or subcontractor, the schedules of inventory to be inspected and verified, and the plant clearance case number. Section II asks yes or no questions about the property on the inventory disposal schedules, and Section III asks about termination inventory when the requester marks it as required. A verifier then signs under a statement that the information is based on a physical verification of the inventory listed under Item 5.

The form prints no OMB number and no time estimate. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
