The State Surplus Property Program promotes and facilitates the sustainable reuse of personal surplus property to state and local governments, qualifying non-profit entities and the public. The Surplus Property Office operates a retail store at its warehouse location in West Columbia and conducts online auctions to make personal property that has no further governmental need available to the public. The "cycle" is the week of the fiscal year in which the item will normally become available for public sale.
The Surplus Property Office manages the sale and disposal of personal surplus state property and the distribution of federal government property, equipment and vehicles to government agencies, qualified non-profit entities and the public. All personal property owned by the state of South Carolina that has been declared as surplus is required to be disposed of by the Surplus Property Office.
State Surplus Property is sold at the State Warehouse, online and/or through public auctions.
