When to Surplus:

University equipment should be sent to surplus when either of these conditions are met:

• Original purchase price exceeds $50
• Equipment may be useful for other university departments or SC State Agencies

We encourage departments to surplus any equipment which has reached the end of its useful life, reducing inventory and increasing valuable storage space.

How to Surplus:

Equipment submitted to surplus should be accompanied by a CUBO 206: Surplus Property Form. 

CU Procurement Services requests 2 copies of the form.  Please also send a copy of the form to Accounting-CCIT Business Services at College Station.  You may also want to retain a copy for your records.  The form should be signed by the submitter, as well as a manager in your area who will function as the approver.

Please make note of the following:

DISPOSITION OF COMPUTERS: Any computer tape, disk (hard drive, CD or floppy) or other storage medium used to store University data must be totally erased or rendered unreadable before it is disposed of through departmental transfer or Surplus Property. Employees should contact their TSP's or CCIT personnel for assistance if necessary.

Where to Surplus:

Surplus equipment can be taken to the warehouse area at the back of the Administrative Services Building.  If you are bringing a large amount of equipment, you should call first to make sure that space is available.  Surplus area personnel can come pick up your equipment if necessary.  They can be contacted at 864-656-2092.

How to Transfer:

Similar procedures are followed when transferring equipment to another university department.  The main difference is that a copy of the CUBO-206 form only needs to go to the Surplus department in cases where equipment on the university’s inventory (>$5000 cost) is involved.  A copy should go to the receiving department and to Greg Thompson at College Station.
