About Surplus
Oklahoma Surplus is a unit of the OMES Capital Assets Management division that provides services and guidance for property reutilization and disposal.
The State Surplus program handles state-owned items ranging from computers to cars, and primarily uses an online auction format through GovDeals.
The Federal Surplus program offers excess federal government equipment and supplies to tax-supported agencies and nonprofit education/health agencies. Federal Surplus handles items such as clothing, tools, generators, shop supplies, medical equipment and vehicles.
Mission
The primary mission of Oklahoma Surplus is the identification, redistribution and disposal of state personal property (not real estate) to state and local governments, eligible nonprofits and the public. The team also serves as the State Agency for Surplus Property (SASP) for the federal property disposal programs.
Goals
The State Surplus Property Program serves state agencies, city and county governments, educational institutions, eligible nonprofits and the public through online auctions. Key program objectives include asset reutilization, public auction sales, environmental responsibility and accountability in asset management.
By extending the lifespan of usable items through reallocation and prioritizing reuse and recycling, the program helps reduce unnecessary expenditures and minimize landfill waste.
