The State Surplus department of the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) Capital Assets Management (CAM) is a warehouse/clearinghouse for items that have been determined to be no longer needed by state agencies, boards and commissions. State Surplus is NOT a moving/hauling company for agencies to use at their disposal when they decide to do housecleaning and get rid of items they no longer need.

State agencies must take the responsibility of getting surplus items to the warehouse. How they achieve this is up to the agency. The suggested method would be to hire a moving company, thereby putting the liability on the moving company in the case of injury, accident, etc. The agency may opt to move the items on their own, with their own people and transportation. Any questions or problems may be directed to OMES State Surplus at 405-525-2354.
