Chapter 20: Limitations on Quantity

Appropriate redistribution is defined by the documented mission of the entity receiving the property. The receiving entity must demonstrate the need for the requested property as it applies to its stated mission. If an entity has changed its mission, it must update its eligibility file to determine if the new functions meet the eligibility requirements. 

To ensure equitable distribution, Surplus reserves the right to limit the quantity of all property that an entity may acquire. The decision regarding “equitable and appropriate” is at Surplus’ discretion. Surplus reserves the right to deny property to any organization. Agencies may appeal the decision to the Surplus Property Division Director, whose decision is final.
