Debit card speeds up
purchasing from Surplus
-- GSD State and Federal Surplus Services, December 2004

State agency customers can now purchase surplus items ranging from desks to vehicles in one stop at the State and Federal Surplus warehouse.

Debit cards are now available for state agency use when purchasing excess property from State and Federal Surplus. The cards provide a streamlined method of generating the necessary sales documentation and billing record, allowing customers to avoid the need to return with a purchase order to obtain property purchased.

Now, customers with debit cards can make one trip to pick out their items and either take the property back to their worksite or make arrangements for delivery. Customers working in the Riffe Center and Rhodes Tower can have limited quantities of property delivered to the loading dock of their building on set days. Prior arrangements need to be made with the Ohio Building Authority to have the property moved from the loading dock to the appropriate workspace.

Please note that a Fleet Management approval number is still required when purchasing vehicles.

To obtain a debit card, please e-mail the following information to Anne Inman of State and Federal Surplus at Anne.Inman@das.state.oh.us:

• agency name
• division/office name
• address
• name and title of applicant
