Surplus Property

What is Surplus Property?

Surplus Property encompasses all university property no longer in use by a university department. University departments transfer all property and equipment to Surplus Property as soon as it is determined that the property is no longer needed. Departments are not authorized to transfer or sell any state property, except to other university departments. Departments may not sell, discard or give away state property, nor is it to be used for personal use.

Property not re-assigned to university departments is disposed of, according to guidelines of the NC State Surplus Property Agency.
