NIGP 99836: Equipment, Heavy, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99836 Equipment, Heavy, Sale Of Surplus And Obsolete Items is an Item code covering the disposal and trade of used or confiscated equipment held by state and local agencies. State and local governments procure surplus-equipment transactions — firearms exchanges, used industrial equipment sales, and electronics recycling programs — through which they liquidate accumulated assets or redirect them to licensed dealers and specialized recyclers. The issuing bodies span police departments, county maintenance operations, school districts, and municipal utilities, each managing different classes of surplus inventory accumulated across their operations.
