Chapter 10: Redistribution

Redistribution of state assets is a primary goal of Surplus.

Frequently, assets that are no longer needed by one entity may still have useful life for another. The state saves not only through acquisition cost avoidance, but in administrative purchasing costs as well.

Agencies are encouraged to develop business relationships with other state entities, local governments, and participating nonprofit entities in their communities. Redistribution within local communities strengthens the entity’s standing and supports the economy as well as saves the entity time and other disposal costs. 

Redistribution options include Intra-Agency Transfer, Inter-Agency Transfer (T), Direct Negotiated Sale (DNS), and Vendor Return (V).
