Officially established in the 1970's but providing services that date back to World War II, DRMS disposes of excess government property. Items are made available for reutilization within the Department of Defense, transferred to other Federal agencies, offered to state or local governments, donated to private not-for-profit organizations, or sold to the public as surplus. With this program, the equivalent of billions in taxpayer dollars is reused or recovered each year.

Developed in support of this end, the enhanced Web-based system is designed to handle the receipt and tracking of property. Data once submitted through a manual process is entered online, validated upon entry according to specifications and stored for management review. This data can then be displayed in a custom Adobe PDF form and also forwarded to other systems. Additional functionality includes administration tools for such tasks as user management for an active, global user base currently numbering about 2,500.
