The Federal Surplus Property Agency (FSP) is an agency
within the Arkansas Department of Workforce Education. FSP donates
property that has been declared surplus or excess by the federal government.
Public agencies,
private nonprofit health and educational institutions
and homeless shelters are eligible to receive property. Fees are assessed on
donated property to cover expenses. These fees usually run 10
percent or less of the original acquisition cost of the donated property.
FSP offers an e-mail service to our donees. Each year FSP receives 150+
tractor trailers loaded with
federal personal property that includes tables, chairs, lateral file
cabinets, legal and regular file cabinets, computer tables, medical and
kitchen equipment and supplies, etc. Most items are new and still in the
original box. These are listed as NIB (New-In-Box) as well as the
quantity, donation charge, and full
description of the items.
FSP offers a WANT
LIST allowing donee representatives the opportunity to request large
equipment items
like dozers, back hoes, track hoes, compactors, planes, boats over 50',
train engines and cars, generators,
etc. The donee representative is contacted and allowed time to view
the property before deciding to
accept it.
All donated property remains the property of the Federal Government until
the end of the restriction period
at which time the title is transferred to the donee organization. Most
property has an 18 month restriction;
however, there are some property classifications that have 60 months. Some
property is never transferred
to the donee and must be returned to FSP or a location of GSA choosing
once no longer desired.
The FSP Compliance Office will discuss the restrictions with any donee
desiring this type of property.
Donee representatives may e-mail a desire to put property on hold for 10
working days. Second and third
holds are allowed. In the event the first hold does not desire the property,
the next hold is in effect. If you
desire to be added to the FSP e-mail database and receive our FSP listings,
be sure to
e-mail us
and
provide he donee organization name, your name, and your position within the
organization. FSP will do
the rest.
Come by and take a look at all of the wares FSP has to
offer. We are located at 8700 Remount
Road in North Little Rock, AR 72118. |
