State Surplus Property
The Space and Lease Management team within DAS reassumed responsibility for the state surplus property program effective October 1, 2008. There is no longer a storefront operation; instead, most items will be sold online. DAS has contracted with an online auction service called GovDeals to assist state departments with their surplus property.
