Surplus property auctions provide the general
public an opportunity to purchase quality goods
at reduced prices and enable the state to recoup a
portion of its initial investment. The three
auctions held this fiscal year have generated $847,436.
Public auctions are the last step in the state's
surplus program. State agencies declare property as
surplus because it is damaged or at the end of its
life cycle for government use. The property is then
made available to other state agencies, state colleges
and universities, tax-supported agencies, municipal
corporations and other political subdivisions of the state,
including public schools. Remaining property is sold at the public auctions.
