State and Federal Surplus Services receives and disburses property declared as surplus because the items are damaged or at the end of its life cycle for government use. Property is made available to other state agencies, state higher education facilities, tax-supported agencies, municipal corporations, and other political subdivisions of the state, including public schools. The remaining property is sold at public auctions held by State and Federal Surplus Services. State agencies and members of the Federal Surplus program can also acquire excess federal property through this office.
