Surplus Property
Where can I find surplus property forms?
Links are included on the Surplus Property site and within Fiscal Policy FI0610.
Explain the use of the surplus decontamination form.
DECON Form certifies that equipment used in a laboratory environment is appropriately sanitized. For additional information, contact UT Environmental Health and Safety.
I’ve listed both computer and non-computer items on the same form and was told to relist the computers on the regular form. Why?
Computers go through a different process because of the sanitation/certification procedure and go through a different workflow in the system.
When can I expect my surplus property to be picked up?
It is rare that a date or time can be determined upon receipt of your request. Pickups are completed in the same order as requests are received. You will receive an email
the day before we are coming to pick-up.
