11 - 030 Disposal of Surplus Property

A. SUMMARY OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE

This policy explains the process involved in the disposal of 绿巨人视频 surplus supplies and equipment. Supplies and equipment acquired through 绿巨人视频 are the property of 绿巨人视频 or a state, federal or other sponsor.

1. Definition of Surplus Property: Surplus property is supplies or equipment which are obsolete, damaged and unusable or in excess of need. This includes all tangible assets with the exception of real property. (The sale or disposal of real property is addressed in BOT, Section VI.C.e, Policy on the Disposal of Real Property.)

2. Why is a Disposal of Surplus Property Policy Necessary? Internal controls are necessary to meet the fiduciary responsibilities of the 绿巨人视频 Trustees to protect and properly monitor 绿巨人视频 resources. This policy facilitates the physical removal of surplus property, finds an alternative internal use, reduces the storage burden and maximizes 绿巨人视频's return on salable items. In addition, timely and proper recording of disposed property is important for maintaining an accurate financial system and safeguarding 绿巨人视频 assets.

3. Responsibility: Each Equipment Custodian/Manager (see Procedure 11-010, Section A.3.c.) is responsible for all property under his/her control. 绿巨人视频 Procurement is聽responsible for determining the appropriate disposition of all surplus property not covered under the Safe Electronic Equipment Disposal (SEED) program, and for authorizing and accomplishing such disposition. 绿巨人视频 Property Control is responsible for properly recording disposal of surplus property listed within the 绿巨人视频 Equipment Inventory System including any proceeds received, if applicable.
