Disposition - The process of disclosing excess, requesting disposition instructions from funding agencies, and effecting disposal of property.
Property that has been declared excess by projects, laboratories, centers, departments, or units to the Property Specialist shall be evaluated by the Property Specialist to determine condition, ownership, and reutilization, when appropriate. Excess Government property or property in which the Federal Government has reserved the right to retain title shall be reported to the appropriate agency for disposition instructions.
Disposition of Government property shall be accomplished within thirty days of receipt of disposal authority. KUCR identification tags or markings shall be removed or obliterated from items to be returned to the Government. Documentation shall be retained to include authority, disposal action, date of disposal, and bills of lading or other shipment documents, when applicable.
Property in which KUCR retains title shall be made available for reutilization, if the condition warrants, or may be used as "trade-in" to the manufacturer or a vendor for upgraded or newer products, when appropriate. Priority reutilization of property acquired with Federal funds shall be to other Federal projects. Priority reutilization of KUCR-owned property shall be to KUCR projects followed by University departments and auxiliary corporations.
Each item of excess property with remaining life expectancy shall be published in an appropriate manner with widest dissemination through the most expedient means. Each item shall be retained for a minimum of three months after the initial publication to allow ample opportunity for reutilization.
After three months, items shall be made available to public schools, stored for public sale, or disposed as scrap/salvage, according to management decisions.
Items deemed through the evaluation process as scrap/salvage (Condition Code 5) shall have all identification markings removed or obliterated and recycled through a salvage business, if economically feasible, or disposed through the trash removal system. Proceeds from scrap sales of Government property shall be credited to the Federal Government.
Any offerings to the public shall be advertised at least one week in advance through the local media and shall be by sealed bid. KUCR shall retain the right to accept or reject any or all bids. Proceeds from the sale of assets purchased with Government funds shall be credited to the Federal Government, when appropriate.
