The Federal Surplus Property Program is tasked with the responsibility of locating, acquiring and distributing Federal surplus personal property to what is commonly referred to as "donees" consisting of state and local government entities and eligible non-profit organizations.
Items normally available include: office furniture, generators, vehicles, boats, power tools, food service equipment, construction materials, clothing, beds, medical equipment, paints and solvents, fire fighting equipment, heavy equipment, etc.
Property is acquired from various Federal Executive Agencies and military installations throughout the continental United States through "Want List" requests. Once an item has been located, one of our Federal Property Screeners will "Freeze" (reserve) the property for you. We´ll even help you make transportation arrangements!
Service charges apply to each transaction, and range from 2-5% of the item´s original acquisition cost.
