Disposals
Can we sell or donate equipment to a non-profit or outside entity?
A piece of our equipment has been stolen. What should the department do?
Please see 'Lost/Stolen Equipment' on the 'Disposals' page.
We received a damaged piece of equipment. What do we need to do to return the item to the vendor?
Please see the procedure on the 'Return to Vendor' page.
Can an employee buy equipment directly from the department?
No, as described by WAC 236-48-198, surplus property available for disposal under the provisions of RCW 43.19.1919 shall not be sold to state elected officials, officers or employees, except at public sale. Public sales are held through the Surplus Property Office.
Sole Exception: Under certain circumstances it is possible for employees to buy their old work cell phones. Please see Surplus property’s web site to see if you might qualify.
How do we determine funding source?
The revenue source code tells the funding source of an expenditure. If it is 01 through 60, then the expenditure was federally funded. If it's 00 or 61 through 99, then the expenditure was state funded (this includes start up funds and anything not federal/agency).
Can I toss damaged or broken items in the trash?
No, all items are to be forwarded to the Surplus Property Office for disposal.
When will my items for surplus be picked up?
You schedule your transportation and pick ups through the Surplus Property Office. (The Equipment Inventory Office is responsible only for processing the forms and removing the items from your inventory.)
How long am I required to keep our department copy of the Property Activity Request - Form 1024?
Six years.
