Equipment Management guides UC Davis in properly tracking capital equipment — whether the university builds, buys, borrows, or receives it for free.  

What We Do 

• Provide customer service to campus clients on capital equipment tracking. 
• Print and mail equipment decals. 
• Approve Aggie Enterprise documents involving equipment. 
• Coordinate the transfer of equipment to and from UC Davis. 
• Verify title to equipment when equipment will be removed from inventory. 
• Prepare close-out reports for federally-sponsored equipment. 
• Coordinate the biennial equipment inventory certification. 
• Conduct equipment audits. 

What is Capital Equipment? 

Capital Equipment is defined by the university in Policy & Procedure Manual (PPM) 350-50 as an item that is: 

• Non-expendable (having a normal life expectancy of one year or more). 
• Tangible (can be appraised for value). 
• Free standing (complete in itself, does not lose its identity when affixed to or installed in other property). 
• Has an acquisition cost of $5,000 or higher (in Aggie Enterprise, a pre-tax amount of $4670 or higher).
