OSU Business Services staffs the Property Services warehouse at the corner of 13th and A streets in Corvallis. The warehouse is open to OSU departments, state and local governments, and non-profit organizations with a 501c3 status to purchase surplus property from 8 AM- 5 PM, Monday through Friday with the exception of Wednesday mornings (8am - 12pm).
Departments consist of OSU departments, state and local governments, as well as
nonprofit organizations with a 501c3 status.
These agencies may purchase a variety of used and
excess equipment.
All OSU owned equipment must go through Surplus Property to be disposed. Each department must fill out a surplus pick-up request (SPR) worksheet. All OSU inventory stickers on an item must be noted on the SPR worksheet. The worksheet is audited against the inventory records to confirm ownership and eligibility for sale. Pick-ups are made as soon as possible, based on the current workload and available storage space. This process normally takes an average of 10 working days.
Departments are credited their portion of the sales once a month. Any equipment on inventory will remain on a department's inventory until sold or otherwise disposed of. If an active inventory item is sold to another department, the Inventory department will transfer the active number to the buying department. If the active inventory item is sold to the general public, the Inventory department will remove it from OSU inventory.
