The United States Geological Survey may not use fiscal year 1986 funds to contract to purchase microcomputer equipment in fiscal year 1987 to replace equipment purchased in 1986 that was stolen from its loading dock. The fiscal year 1986 purchase order was completed even though the equipment never reached the ordering office. Therefore, the purchase of additional equipment to replace the ill-fated fiscal year 1986 purchase order would constitute a new, rather than a replacement, contract. 2. The United States Geological Survey received an annual lump-sum appropriation for fiscal year 1986. This appro- priation has expired and is no longer available for the procurement of additional microcomputer equipment in fiscal year 1987 since a valid obligation was not incurred prior to the appropriation's expiration. DECISION The Chief of the Geological Survey's Financial Management Branch, Department of the Interior, has requested a decision on whether fiscal year 1986 funds may be used for a proposed procurement in fjsca4 year 1987 to replace stolen microcom- puter equipment. The original equipment, which was paid for out of fiscal year 1986 funds, was delivered and accepted in fiscal year 1987, but was stolen before it reached the ordering office. As explained more fully below, we find that fiscal year 1986 funds may not be used for the proposed 1987 purchase of microcomputer equipment. C)5,:k
