22.4.10. Federal and State Surplus

Federal and State Surplus: Items purchased from the federal and State of Michigan governments, when on occasion, the governments have surplus property sales.

The University is eligible to purchase both federal and state surplus property. Both agencies occasionally publish lists of surplus items which may be on file in the Purchasing Department.

A Purchase Requisition is not required for this type of acquisition.

To make a purchase from a state surplus warehouse, do the following:

1. Obtain an ID card from the Purchasing Department prior to visiting the warehouse. The Purchasing Department is located in Room 228 of the Administration Building.



2. Return to the Purchasing Department, within one working day of returning from the visit, the ID card and the goldenrod invoice received from the warehouse, specifying the items acquired and the index to be charged.
