  • Com-Cycle

    In order to protect the security of information that may have been stored on various types of electronic data storage equipment and devices, the University now requires that all such property, when no longer needed at the University, be disposed of through Com-Cycle, whose contract with the Commonwealth specifically addresses government and corporate governance as related to end-of-life technology and the issues associated with ensuring appropriate data security and privacy protections. This solution incorporates chain of custody, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley and DOD-approved data sanitization methodologies, and zero landfill recycling policies. All property disposed of through this process is managed in an EPA licensed facility, following EPA green guidelines.

  • Independent Contractor - Charles W. Hurt LLC

    Any furniture, building materials, and appliances (with the exception of air conditioners, laboratory refrigerators and laboratory freezers) that are to be surplused will be collected at your departmental location by an independent contractor, Charles W. Hurt LLC.

    These items can be purchased by contacting Steve Melton with Charles W. Hurt LLC at vlcsmelton@aol.com.

  • Sealed Bids

    This alternate procedure is available for specialty items such as research equipment, or for items with an unusually high value. Please contact Bobby Carefoot to sell an item by sealed bid or additional information.

  • Donation

    Organizations may apply to Procurement Services to be recipients of donations. Procurement Services determines which available items will be donated, and which approved organization will receive them.

Surplus Property is subject to the laws of the Commonwealth as outlined in the Code of Virginia and University Financial and Administrative Policies and Procedures.
