To those interested in the State Agency for Surplus Property:

The State Agency for Surplus Property in the Department of Administrative and Financial Services is responsible for the distribution and allocation of all surplus property. Surplus is federal personal property that is owned by the federal government and donated to various states through GSA (General Services Administration). The State Agency for Surplus Property acts as a clearinghouse to obtain donable property from all possible sources. Donable property is then allocated to all eligible donees through the systematic review of requests and the assessment of each donee's level of need. The purpose of allocation is to achieve a fair and equitable distribution of surplus property to all eligible donees throughout the State.

Eligible donees include the following:

  1. Public agencies, including public schools.
  2. Nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations.

To be considered eligible, each donee must meet the requirements established by federal regulations. Each donee that is approved by the Manager will be eligible for all types of federal surplus property.

Eligible donees can obtain property by having the chief administrator, town manager, executive director, etc., complete the Application for Eligibility, Debarment and Assurance documents. Requests will be reviewed periodically as property becomes available. Allocations will be made on a routine basis to donees with the greatest need for a particular item and those with the earliest request. Property can also be obtained by "screening" at the agency's warehouse facilities. Screening includes looking at property, claiming it for a donee, and taking it back to the organization, town, etc.

If you would like to participate in this program and you think you are eligible, please complete the four forms attached to this letter.
