We list them as computer supplies (for computer items). Sandra M.

Other is usually for services rather than tangible items.

We are now changing that policy to be in line with OMB A-21 definitions; that is, we will be defining permanent equipment at the greater than $5000 level. Our question is: In budgeting for NSF proposals, how do we deal with non-expendable items of equipment valued at less than $5000? Materials and supplies does not seem appropriate. Should such items appear under item G.6 Other Direct Costs?
