• **As part of the location verification, building must be confirmed.  This information is confirmed through FacilitiesLink.

• PO Number data is not available on the report.

• Discrepancies on any of the above items should be noted on your equipment report. 
• Note any items that cannot be accounted for on the report.

Departments are not authorized to dispose of equipment directly. Campus and School of Medicine Custodial Code departments should follow the steps below:

1. Review the disposal instructions on the AggieSurplus website and complete the AggieSurplus Service Request form.
2. If AggieSurplus has a market for the asset, AggieSurplus will make arrangements with your department to have the asset picked up. 
3. If AggieSurplus does not have a market for the asset, and the department wishes to dispose of the item, AggieSurplus will retire the asset for you. Arrange with AggieSurplus for pickup through Salvage Operations.
4. If your department chooses to part out ("cannibalize") the equipment for use in other equipment, request authorization from AggieSurplus. If approved, submit a request through AggieEQ, Retirement Request tile. Provide the AggieSurplus authorization and EQ will retire the asset for you. Contact AggieSurplus to pick up remaining parts.
5. Retain work order number and supporting documentation for above steps for 5 years.
