ND Surplus Property

About

North Dakota Surplus Property redistributes government surplus property to North Dakota government entities and the public.

Story

Since the 1970s, North Dakota Surplus Property has been redistributing surplus federal and state government equipment to eligible North Dakota government entities and the public. Our program helps North Dakota government entities acquire property they need, such as construction equipment, office furniture, and medical supplies, to best serve the members in their communities.

In 2010, ND Surplus Property began our electronic waste (e-waste) recycling program, in which we help state agencies, political subdivisions, and public schools, colleges, and universities, recycle their e-waste in a safe, responsible, and economic manner.

In addition to the e-waste recycling program, ND Surplus Property also began our ExchangeND program in which we accept computer components free of charge so that North Dakota schools may purchase them at minimal cost. Every year, we sell an estimated 1,500 computers to North Dakota schools. The components we accept for free are CPUs, laptops, keyboards, mice, flat panel monitors, cell phones, and accessories.

Mission

Our Mission: To reutilize and recycle federal and state surplus property to save taxpayer money, transfer property federal and state agencies no longer need, and dispose of electronic waste in a safe, responsible manner.
The North Dakota State Agency for Surplus Property receives surplus property from federal and state agencies. Federal property is transferred for an administrative fee to eligible government entities and state property is sold to government entities and the public.

Products

Federal surplus property we receive may fall into one of the following categories: automobiles, clothing and personal, construction equipment, household, medical and dental equipment, office equipment, recreation, tools, travel trailers or mobile homes, trucks, trailers, tractors, and vehicular components and tires.

State surplus property we receive typically consists of office furniture and equipment such as desks and chairs, and computers and computer accessories.
