Surplus Property Policy and Procedures

Effective December 2024, UConn's Surplus Property Policy and procedures have changed. 


If you need to request the removal of property or equipment owned by the University - including but not limited to furniture, lab equipment, machinery, or IT equipment - please note the changes to the policy and procedures outlined below.

POLICY CHANGES

  • References to the public surplus store were removed.

  • Export Control must be notified prior to disposing of assets:

    • with an export control classification number; and/or

    • that were created as a result of research conducted with funding or oversight from the U.S. Department of Defense or similar military and intelligence agencies in the US or abroad.

PROCEDURE CHANGES

  • Employees can no longer directly purchase surplus items from the University.

  • Specific procedures now outline how to request the removal of refrigeration units, motors, and electronics with hard drives.

  • Asset Panda is designated as the software used for tracking and processing surplus items.

GRANT-FUNDED PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

All University-purchased property and equipment, including grant-funded items, is owned by the University and not the individual. Departments must follow the Surplus Property Policy and Procedures for grant-funded property and equipment.

REMEMBER

Surplus Operations determines what to do with University property and equipment. University property should not be discarded without first going through UConn's inventory control and surplus process.
