Surplus Property Advertising Procedures

• Advertising

  USNH Purchasing & Contract Services will advertise surplus property on the Surplus Web Site. Purchasing may solicit offers, in addition to advertising on the web, when it is in the best interest of USNH. Item(s) are advertised for a period of fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of posting. In addition, departments may place ads in local or regional newspapers or trade magazines at their own expense. Any department electing to advertise in this manner must notify Purchasing prior to placing the ad.

• Offer/Acceptance

  All surplus property is sold "as is, where is". All sales are final. Offers may be submitted to Purchasing using the on-line offer form. The form is available after searching for the item and clicking the "Details/Submit Offer" button. The offer will be sent to the Purchasing Office by email.

  All offers must be received by midnight (EST) on the close date. The item can be sold to the first party who makes an offer or the seller can accept the highest offer within the following priority:

  1. Other USNH departments
  2. State of New Hampshire
  3. Other interested parties

  Purchasing will notify the selling department when an offer is received. The seller will only notifiy the person whose offer is accepted. Payment and pickup arrangements should be made between the selling department and the buyer. USNH departments buying surplus property must issue a Banner POB to the selling department. The selling department should notify Purchasing when the item has sold so it can be removed from the web.

  Note: If the item has a UNH Tag, the selling department must remove it and send to Property Control prior to selling the item.

• No Offers Received

  If no offers are not received for the item, Purchasing will remove the item from the web by the close date unless the selling department notifies purchasing to:

  1. Extend the closed date
  2. Change the asking price
  3. Scrap the item
