Purpose and Summary

The purpose of this policy is to outline the process for the disposition of University surplus property.

Scope

This policy applies to all University locations and units, including all University extensions, satellite locations, and off-site campus units, both domestic and international.

Policy

  1. Surplus Property is responsible for the disposal of all surplus or excess property.
  2. All equipment sold to individuals will be by competitive bidding or through the Surplus Property Storefront. Storefront sales will be for those pieces of equipment for which the market price has been determined, normally because of numerous like items being received. Financial Services Purchasing employees may not purchase items for a period of 7 days after said items have been placed for sale through the Storefront.
  3. For further information, review the Property Management Manual Policy 4.1 Disposal of University and Sponsored Equipment, or call Surplus Property at 520-621-1754.
  4. The disposal of any federally acquired excess property must be coordinated with Sponsored Projects Services. The disposal of surplus federal property must still be cleared through the Surplus Property Office.
  5. For additional information, contact Surplus Property at 520-621-1754.

Procedures

  1. The process begins with entering a disposal request in the Surplus Property system via the Surplus Property Management System. A user name and password are required to enter the system. Once approved, Department Heads and Business Managers are able to enter new users and assign passwords, as well as security levels.
  2. Once the disposal request is entered, and authorized, the request is electronically routed to Surplus Property for processing.
