Which property type is consumed in use and has an organization cost of less than $500 per item?

Expendable property is defined by being consumed in use and having a unit cost below the organization threshold. Since the item is used up in its use and costs less than $500 per item, it fits this category best. Nonexpendable and durable refer to items not consumed in a single use and typically cost more; they stay in inventory longer. Consumable is a general term for items used up, but the MILPROP framework specifically ties the “consumed in use with a cost under the threshold” condition to expendable property, making that the correct classification.
