     5  with  applicable  express  statutory provisions, (b) reuse such property
     6  within the same state agency, (c) use the property in part payment on  a
     7  new item which may include, but shall not be limited to, use as a trade-

     9  the  commissioner,  place such property in the custody or control of the
