A filled-in DA Form 337 example: disposal of one shed

DA Form 337 example filled out, example: disposal of one shed
An accountable officer fills out DA Form 337 for one shed. The estimated total sale value is not in excess, so the in-excess box stays empty. The picture shows both pages; every value in it is made up. The shed is the only row, so Total Cost repeats its original cost. It was built in 1985. The approving authority signs and enters the final disposition.

Da Form 337 PDF Details

The DA 337 is an official U.S. Army document used to request formal authorization before disposing of buildings or permanent improvements at any Army installation. It falls under Army Regulation 405-90, which governs real property disposal, and is administered by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as the proponent agency.

The form applies when the estimated total sale value of all property being disposed of does not exceed $50,000. Above that threshold, a different approval process is required. When multiple buildings or improvements are covered, each must be listed separately with its own construction details and cost figures.

Key fields include: the name and location of the installation, the accountable officer's name and grade, a description of each improvement (type of construction, year built, original cost, and total estimated cost), the estimated sale value, the disposal rationale, and whether the underlying land is government-owned or leased.

Both the estimator and the final approving authority must sign and date the form before submission. Without both signatures, USACE cannot process the request. The form is two pages and is not electronically fillable in its standard issued version.
