    2. Determine if the property is federally owned or state-owned.
    3. Dispose of state-owned computers through Computing Services.
    4. Attempt to negotiate a trade-in.
    5. Attempt a transfer to another SOU department.
    6. Dispose of remaining surplus through Facilities Management and Planning (FMP).

1. Status of Property

2. Federal or State Ownership

3. Computer Disposal (State-owned)

Dispose of state-owned computers and computer-related hardware through Information Technology. Note: If the property is not a computer or computer-related hardware, go to step 4.

Contact the Help Desk (552-6900) to initiate disposal. In some cases, Information Technology will require a department to use FMP Support Services to transport the computer(s) and related hardware to Information Technology (at the cost of the department requesting the disposal). Departments disposing of large quantities of obsolete equipment may incur processing and recycling fees.

4. Trade-in

To obtain a discount on a new purchase, attempt to negotiate a trade-in.

Negotiate directly with a vendor; the Purchasing Office (552-6313) can assist you. Be sure to arrange shipping or pickup of property with the vendor. Document a trade-in on the hard copy of the vendor invoice and in the text of the purchase order created for the new equipment. Notify Business Services (552-6599) of a trade-in; include the inventory number, item description, and trade-in value. Business Services will prepare and forward a Property Disposition Request Form (PDR) for your signature.

If trade-in is not possible, go to step 5.

5. Transfer

Attempt to transfer property to another SOU department.

Offer property free or at a cost to other campus departments, using the Groupwise "Surplus Property" e-mail group. If the property is on the original owner's equipment inventory, that department must notify Business Services (552-6313). If property is sold to another department, enter a Banner Finance journal voucher to transfer funds. (If input by the seller, use journal type 3SJV. If input by the buyer, use journal type 3JV1). If transportation is required, the new owning department can contact FMP Support Services.

If no campus departments are interested, go to step 6.
