The threshold for capitalizing or amortizing assets is $25,000. Assets purchased prior to FY 2003 are depreciated using the straight line depreciation method. Assets purchased during FY 2003 and beyond are depreciated using the mid-quarter convention depreciation method. Depreciable assets are assumed to have no remaining salvage value. There are currently no restrictions on PPE assets.

USAID PP&E includes assets located in Washington, D.C. offices and overseas field missions.

Equipment consists primarily of electric generators, ADP hardware, vehicles and copiers located at the overseas field missions.

Structures and Facilities include USAID owned office buildings and residences at foreign missions, including the land on which these structures reside. These structures are used and maintained by the field missions. USAID does not separately report the cost of the building and the land on which the building resides.

Land consists of property owned by USAID in foreign countries. Usually the land is purchased with the intention of constructing an office building at the site.
