The UNLV Surplus Center is the only authorized department that may sell and/or dispose of university property.

Departments are responsible for coordinating the transportation of all surplus property to the surplus warehouse. They can bring the equipment themselves or contact the Surplus Center to arrange a pickup via Moving Services, subject to a pickup fee.

If you have taken the AssetWorks training you can submit the Surplus Equipment Move using the :

  • Customer: unlv
  • Service: AMS Asset Management
  • Next Screen: Ace Credentials

Surplus equipment is available to university departments for a considered fee to offset the expense associated with processing surplus equipment.

The Surplus Center conducts sales Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons 1-4 p.m.

UNLV departments must submit an IDR for the purchase of the Surplus property. All other purchases are made using major credit cards.

Per state law, no department or person may sell or dispose of any university property to any individual, agency, and/or company without proper authorization.

A department may transfer university property to Surplus for departing employee purchase. Computers and other sensitive equipment require some special steps:

  • Any computer will need to be to be sanitized and processed by OIT before being transferred to Surplus to be sold; the department initiates this with OIT via an .
    • The department should also execute a Transfer to OIT (in AssetWorks) for the computer.
    • When OIT has completed the sanitization, they will do a Surplus Transfer and arrange for Surplus to take possession.
    • The department (and OIT) should notify the Surplus Center about the employee purchase interest, so that Surplus can set the computer aside once received and facilitate the sale.
  • Once received in the Surplus Center from OIT, the computer will then be priced, and an invoice can be prepared and emailed to the employee purchaser for credit card payment online, or in person at the Surplus Center.
  • Once payment is complete, the employee purchaser may take possession of the computer from Surplus.

The Surplus Center warehouse is open Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. You must call the Surplus Center at 702-895-5384 to schedule your delivery.
