Surplus Policy
 
University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics
 
SURPLUS EQUIPMENT PROCEDURE

(ADMINISTERED BY THE HOUSEKEEPING DEPARTMENT)

(Scrap, Furniture, Equipment, and Miscellaneous Hospital Items)

 
1. Departments wishing to dispose of surplus equipment, such as scrap, furniture, equipment or miscellaneous hospital items, may do so be sending a requisition to The Housekeeping Department, C 157 of General Hospital. The requisition should list the item, the U of I inventory tag number, and its location. The requisition must be signed by the Department Executive Officer who is responsible for University owned property of the department. The word "Surplus" should be printed on the requisition (See Exhibit A-1). Your department can use the Housekeeping Service Message on the INFORMM system for this purpose.
 
2. The Housekeeping Department will determine if the equipment is needed by another department or is no longer suitable for use within the U of I Hospitals and Clinics.
 
3. These regulations are written primarily to cover items of equipment which are on the University inventory system or have had SUI tags at one time. However, this does not mean that anything without a number assigned may be discarded or given away. There are many items which are not inventoried but still have value for many people and therefore should be sold through Hospital Surplus. The Hospital Surplus Inventory Supervisor will make the determination.
 
4. Items of equipment which are determined by the surplus inventory supervisor to be no longer suitable for UIHC use will be disposed of. Each item will be evaluated on an individual basis to determine the method of disposal most advantageous to the UIHC and The University of Iowa. Items will be sent to the following service to be sold.
 
a. The University of Iowa Surplus Store, 700 South Clinton Street, Iowa City. The surplus store is open on Monday evenings from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM. University Departments as well as individual staff members may purchase surplus at these sales.
 
5. It is not in accordance with University Policy to let anyone "have" anything unless it goes through the official channels, i.e., Housekeeping Surplus Equipment pool.
 
6. Items of equipment Belonging To Housekeeping which are tagged with an SUI number and are: 1) Thrown out or retained only for parts 2) Stolen 3) Authorized to be taken from The University 4) Surplused Must be report on an EQUIPMENT INVENTORY DEDUCTION REPORT and transmitted to The University Equipment Inventory Office, 612 Jefferson Building. A copy of this report is attached (see exhibit B). Review the requirements specified on the form. When transferring equipment from other sources which are tagged with an SUI number, such as transfers from Hospital Departments or separate cost centers, the EQUIPMENT INVENTORY ADDITIONS REPORT must be used. This is also submitted to The University Equipment Inventory Office (see Exhibit C).
