Surplusing University Computers

Surplus Warehouse - A Division of Procurement

The State of Arkansas, Act 1410, Section 4. (a)(2) mandates that
"all hard drives of surplus computer equipment be degaussed, cleared
of all data, software, and be otherwise prepared for sale within (90)
days after replacement." Each department on campus is required to
meet these sanitation guidelines for all surplus hard drives. The UA
Surplus Warehouse department has been instructed to refuse any
computer that is not sanitation certified.

To ensure compliance, a new campus-wide procedure is effective immediate

To expedite the pick up of surplus computers from campus departments, the
UA Surplus Warehouse is partnering with Computing Services to handle the
process at no charge or extra work for departments.

After equipment has been entered into the on line Surplus System a
Technician will remove all hard drives at the department. After hard
drives have been removed, computers will then be transported to the Surplus
Warehouse either by PHPL or a Surplus staff member.
