The Federal Surplus Property Donation Program is an excellent opportunity for saving money.  The use of federal surplus property can significantly reduce the cost of your operation and equipment needs.

If your organization is a local or state unit of government, an agency created by government, an educational institution, public health agency, senior citizens group, child care center, library, museum, public service agency, or non-profit education or health care under IRS 501.(c)3, you can take advantage of enormous savings by using what the federal government no longer needs.  Examples of available property are:

v        office furniture and supplies

v    shop equipment

v    electronic equipment and typewriters

v    tires, engines and vehicle parts

v    hardware, paint and varnish

v    trucks, autos and heavy equipment

v    aluminum sheeting and components

v    clothing, boots, and coats

Where does all this property come from?  The federal government, through acquisition and disposal cycles, generates usable property they no longer need.  To ensure maximum use, excess items are made available to federal agencies.  When there is no need on the federal level, these surplus items are then made available for donation to qualified program recipients.

In many cases, a little refurbishing and cleanup, possibly some new parts will have the property serviceable at a fraction of the cost of a new item.  You pay only a small handling charge, which is used to defray our agency's operating expenses.  With a little elbow grease and some good old American ingenuity, the federal surplus program can pay you dividends every day of the year!

Property is received on a weekly basis so it is best to visit our agency as often as possible.  We are located in Baton Rouge at 1635 Foss Drive (across the street from Memorial Stadium and next door to the Army Reserve building). Take Fuqua exit from I-110 North, two left turns and we are the third green warehouse on the right.
