| Policies and Procedures for Turning In or Receiving Surplus Items | ||
| Surplus Property Turn-In Form | To have property picked up and deleted from your unit code, a Surplus Property Turn-In Form must be completed & submitted to Surplus via campus mail. Only original signed forms are acceptable, Faxed or e-mail copies are not accepted. The most current version of this form can be obtained from the "Forms" page of this website or through Outlook/Public Folders/All Public Folders/UTSA Forms/Surplus Department. Always use a new form from one of the above sources, as the form must be revised from time to time to comply with requirements set forth by the State Comptroller’s Office. The form has room for 10 separate line items, if more items are to be turned in, use the Surplus Property Turn-In Form Continuation Sheet located in the same place as our main turn-in form. There are 25 lines on the continuation sheet and there is no limit of continuation sheets that can be attached to your main turn-in form. Any questions about any of our forms, please call us @ 458-6272. | |
| Pick-Up & Delivery |
Pick-up and deliveries by Surplus is a free service to all departments
within the university.

|
| Requesting Items from Surplus | Surplus has provided many departments with both large and small quantities of used property, therefore saving valuable funds. We can help your department as well. To request items from Surplus, go to the "REQUESTS" web link above and tell us what it is you need. Do not call us to see if we have a certain item in stock, our stock rotates very fast and most items are promised out before they ever get to our warehouse. | |

| Computer CPU's |
It is no longer a requirement for departments to erase computer hard
drives. Surplus will destroy all computer hard drive data as
required by the State Comptroller’s Office. When preparing computers for surplus, place keyboards, mice & cables/wires in a box or container prior to pickup.

| Vehicle Turn-In Preparation |
Before vehicles can be accepted by
Surplus, the following items must be accomplished:
|
|
|
Refrigerators, Freezers, Incubators

Work Orders are no longer required to have the freon removed. Please disregard the check block on the Surplus Turn-In Form. | |

Hazardous Items |
Items that contain or have once contained hazardous materials (i.e. biological, radioactive, corrosives, flammables, asbestos, chemicals, etc.) must be inspected & cleared by the Environmental Health, Safety & Risk Management (EHSRM) office prior to Surplus turn-in. If you are unsure these conditions exist, consult with the experts or technicians that work with that particular piece of equipment. If a hazardous condition exists or has once existed, contact EHSRM @ 458-6101 to request an inspection. DO NOT send us the Surplus Property Turn-In Form until the property has been inspected & cleared by EHSRM. Once the items have been cleared by EHSRM, attach the inspection clearance documentation to the Surplus Turn-In Form. On the Surplus Property Turn-In Form, please ensure you check the block that identifies that the hazard has been identified & cleared.

| Modular Furniture, Partitions | Modular
furniture and partitions destined for surplus must be disassembled and
the electricity disconnected prior to pick-up. Prepare and send a work
