Streamlined surplus property management process starts this May
K-State’s surplus property management process will transition to GovDeals starting May 29. The GovDeals platform allows university departments to first make unused equipment, furniture and supplies available internally — often at little or no cost.
Going forward, departments will submit a single surplus property intake form, eliminating the need to create individual item listings.
To provide support during this transition, several training sessions are available this month. These training sessions will provide instruction for registration, website navigation and guidance on how departments will manage surplus property.
- 9 a.m. May 19 via Zoom.
- 9 a.m. May 20 in person in the Big 12 Room in the Student Union — please register online.
- 1 p.m. May 20 via Zoom.
Please register online for the session that best fits your calendar and learning style. All training sessions will provide the same information.
Departments may begin the new process by submitting the intake form beginning May 30.
As part of this transition, the ability to create new listings on the current Surplus Property website will be tentatively disabled on May 30, and the site will be fully retired by the end of June.
K-State’s surplus disposition transition is guided by the Next-Gen K-State priority of stewarding university resources with integrity and impact. The university seeks to rehome university property within the campus community before requesting disposal whenever possible.
