The Surplus Property Warehouse is located at the back of the 4747 Troost building, on the corner of 48th & Forest. (map) Please contact Warehouse Manager, Jonathan Young, in advance, if you wish to view surplused items for your dept as the warehouse is not regularly staffed. You can reach Jonathan at 235-1396 with questions, and the fax for pickups is 235-5552. The Warehouse direct number is 235-6996.
Items are declared surplus by completing the Form 27: Inventory Change and Surplus form with signature by the appropriate dean, director or department chairperson. The information on this form should include:
Detailed instructions are available.
If the item is technology related, such as computer, monitor, server, etc, complete the Condition Report for Technology Related Surplus Items. This must be attached to the item before the surplus is picked up.
If the item being surplussed or disposed of may contain hazardous materials (i.e. oil, mercury, Freon, asbestos, lead, florescent bulbs, batteries, etc) the department is responsible for first contacting Environmental Health & Safety for an evaluation of the item. Obtain a copy of the EHS Surplus/Disposal Form and complete the top portion of the page. EHS personel must sign the document verifying the need for removal of hazardous components. After removal, the department must provide a copy of the completed and signed form to Jonathan Young, Surplus Manager, along with the Form 27: Inventory Change and Surplus Form (Fax 5552).
NOTE:Surplus items containing hazardous materials will not be picked up without a completed and signed EHS Surplus/Disposal Form.
Upon receipt of the notification declaring items surplus, the Procurement Department’s coordinator, whenever appropriate, will notify other campus departments of the availability of the items declared surplus. There is a limited time in which the campus departments view and purchase items. The surplus property coordinator may provide suggestions on approximate value of items not already included in Surplus Property Pricing. If a sale is successfully negotiated, an internal transfer of funds (Journal Entry) is completed by the Procurement department. The buying department will furnish a MoCode and Peoplesoft account number to the Procurement department for this transfer of funds.
If surplus items are not sold or transferred on campus within a period of time, they are made available for public sale. Public auctions are held four to five times a year to dispose of these surplus items. Although most items are sold through public auctions, a sealed bid process is occasionally used for specialized equipment. Public sales are announced to the campus as well as to the general public to enable UMKC employees and students the opportunity to purchase surplus items for personal use. Items may be purchased for public use ONLY during the public auctions.
The University of Missouri System practice is for Procurement to receive 35% of the sale, to offset the operational costs of the program, for any item that sells for $50 or more.
For more information, contact Jonathan Young (Warehouse Mgr & surplus coordinator) at 235-1396.
