Dear
Procurementarians,
Surplus Property has
had a unique set of challenges lately, one of which has been to get quality
surplus property from the federal government. After a couple of rough starts
while they implement new inventory programs, things are starting to loosen up
as far as the availability of property. Remember that time when someone
implemented a new computer program that you had to learn, and everything went
great? Yeah, I don’t either. And they implemented TWO at the same time. But
things are getting better all the time, so I thought I would write and fill you
in on a couple of things going on at Surplus Property, and highlight a few
things we’ve been getting in.
Storage Services
I’m not sure if you
know this or not, but Surplus Property has storage services available. Because
we live in a big warehouse. With lots and lots of square footage. Even vertical
square footage. Your palletized items would live in a climate-controlled, well-lit
and dry warehouse. If you find yourself in need of some extra storage space,
let us be your solution. We currently provide storage services for several
state agencies, so feel free to let us know if you’re interested.

what the rates are for storage services.
Screening Property
Simply put,
screening property is looking for items to bring to the warehouse in Salem.
There are many factors that determine this, and some of it is highly
speculative. But what if you were able to
shop for yourself? We do have several Donee agencies that do just that because
they know best what they’re looking for. We give you the power to go into PPMS
(Personal Property Management System) and look for items being made available
from the federal government. We give you “look only” credentials, and if you
see something you want, you let us know and we request it for you. Then you
arrange the shipping or go pick it up in person (which in Surplusian is known
as a “Direct”), and you save a lot of money for your agency/organization.
You must be an
eligible Donee agency through the Surplus Property program to receive sign-on
credentials for PPMS. If you’re interested, contact Mr. Don Tesdal in our
office don.tesdal@das.oregon.gov,
and he can get you set up. Legitimate online shopping while at work? Heck yeah!
Listserv’s
Let’s talk
Listserv’s! When I send out messages over listserv’s, I have two that belong to
Surplus, and through the kindness of fellow state agencies, they send my
messages out on their listserv’s. One listserv in particular is called
“Donee_Email_List”, and is one of Surplus’ lists. This list consists of all the
Surplus Property Donee’s email addresses that are in our database “Reuse”. From
time to time, I will go to that listserv, delete every email from the list,
download all the emails in Reuse, and paste them into the listserv to get a
fresh updated list of emails. I know, “why are you telling me this?” Well, if
you have requested to be removed from this particular listserv in the past, I
can certainly unsubscribe you, but you might start getting emails again. If you
do, kindly request to
be unsubscribed from the listserv. I say kindly because it’s nice to be important, but it’s
important to be nice. That, and I have your email address.
Donee’s
So, you may have
seen this word and asked yourself “What the heck is a Donee?” Well, if you are
signed up with the Surplus Property program, you are a Donee. When we receive Federal Donation
property and make it available, and you acquire said property, it still belongs
to the federal government until the compliance period has lapsed. So, the
federal government is the Donor,
and you are the Donee. But if it’s donated, why does it cost? Because we have
expenses like shipping, warehousing and administrative costs tied up in the
property we transfer (notice I said “transfer”, and not “sell”. The same reason
you pay a “Service Charge” for property, and not a “Price”). So, in Surplusian
language the world over, you are officially referred to as “Donee’s” (and NOT donkey’s. Stupid Google).
Okay, now that we’re
done with that, let’s take a look at some items that have washed up on the
shores of Surplus lately. If you want more information on any of the items
listed below, the photo of each item is a link to our database Reuse. There you
can see photo’s, quantities, all that fun stuff.
