NIGP 99825: Clocks, Watches, Timepieces, All Types, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99825 Item "Clocks, Watches, Timepieces, All Types, Sale Of Surplus And Obsolete Items" covers the disposition of surplus and confiscated property held by state and local agencies, including firearms and related equipment. State and local governments solicit under this code to liquidate or exchange seized or obsolete assets — converting confiscated inventory into purchasing credits or cash recovery for operational needs. The issuing bodies are typically police departments, sheriff's offices, and consolidated municipal governments managing property rooms and evidence custody. Work involves appraising assets, marketing them to licensed dealers or the public, conducting sealed or open auctions, handling title transfer documentation, and managing the financial settlement of trades or sales.
