I sent an e-mail to the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) Inventory Managment Branch regarding old computer equipment. The reply:
I am not familiar with is group. Surplues state property can be donated to nonprofit tax exempt charitable organizations with 501C3 federal tax exempt status, such as Goodwill, Big Brothers, Salvation Army, etc. Agencies have the authority to sell surplus state property by auction, advertisement or if not feasible by telephone or other means of solicitation (at least 3 contacts), except not to an employee of the disposing agency. Another reason to dispose the property to an organization would be: if the disposal will benefit the State, such as saving the expense to remove and disposed the property (be cautious on this method - the justification must be in detail to insure no conflict of interest and to prevent similar organizations complains on favoritism) . Before the above method of disposal , usable state property has to be offered to other state agencies - listing on the SPO Excess State Property list. Should you have any question on this matter, please call me at 831-6756. Thanks, RonO __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
