FSP donates property that has been declared surplus or excess by the federal government. Public agencies, private nonprofit health and educational institutions and homeless shelters are eligible to receive property. Fees are assessed on donated property to cover expenses. These fees usually run 10 percent or less of the market value of the donated property. Arkansas Federal Surplus Property offers an e-mail service to our donees.
Most items are new and still in the original box.
FSP offers a WANT LIST allowing donee representatives the opportunity to request large equipment items like dozers, back hoes, track hoes, compactors, planes, boats over 50', train engines and cars, generators, etc. The donee representative is contacted and allowed time to view the property before deciding to accept it. All donated property remains the property of the Federal Government until the end of the restriction period at which time the title is transferred to the donee organization. Some property is never transferred to the donee and must be returned to FSP or a location of GSA choosing once no longer desired. The FSP Compliance Office will discuss the restrictions with any donee desiring this type of property.
