Surplus Property

Surplus Property consists of state-owned property that is no longer needed by the university. Examples include vehicles, electronics, furniture, and miscellaneous office equipment. Prior to a department removing or disposing of any property, a Property Survey/Transfer Request Form must be completed and submitted to the Property Management Office (PMO) for processing.

Once notification is received from the PMO that the survey has been approved, a work order request can be submitted to PPFM to have the property picked up and removed. Property may not be left in hallways, stairwells, or outside of buildings, as this may be in violation of state fire marshal regulations.

Where Does It Go?

The type and condition of surveyed items determines whether they are reused or recycled. Several options exist, including: re-purposing items to other departments on campus, donating items to local non-profit agencies and schools, posting items for auction on publicsurplus.com, or dismantling items for scrap metal and wood recycling.
