Departments acquiring items from the Federal Donation Program will be charged the service and handling charge assessed by the Arizona State Surplus Property Agency, transportation costs from the holding agency and any expenses for the acquisition paid by the Surplus Property. Again, there are restrictions as to the use and disposal of said property. This has the lowest priority of the Federal Property programs. The U.S. Department of Energy will give excess property from their agency to universities that teach and do research in energy related fields. All that is necessary is to submit a simple proposal that can be coordinated through Property Management.
Some restrictions apply.
The Donor receives Federal tax deductions if the property is donated to an educational institution. Surplus Property must pay yearly fees to belong to such organizations. These annual fees and the transportation of the property is passed along to departments receiving items. In most cases the property is new and unused and the shipping costs minimal. Some restrictions as to the disposal of the property exist.
