Surplus Property
CMS Property Control is charged with the administration and disposal of all surplus personal property generated by state agencies, boards, commissions, universities, and constitutional office-holders, and excess and surplus property no longer needed by the U. S. Government. Property Control is comprised of three program sections:
STATE SURPLUS property is made available by priority to state government entities on a “first come, first serve” basis. When property is no longer needed by state government, property is made available next to units of local government (cities, towns, counties, etc.) and non-profit organizations (501c, organizations providing assistance to homeless, food banks, etc.). State Surplus also administers recycling programs. Our Recycling services help state agencies to properly dispose of or recycle unusable items if they cannot be re-distributed by Surplus Property to other state entities. Local governments, qualifying not-for-profit organizations and the public may view the available State surplus equipment at the central warehouse in Springfield Mondays thru Friday (except holidays) from 12:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. For state agencies/entities, available property can be tagged by their property control officers to hold for pickup by using tags supplied by the surplus warehouse staff. Once a tag is filled out and attached to a surplus item, the agency will have 10 days to pick up tagged item Monday through Friday, 12:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. If a tagged asset has not been picked up after 10 days, the tag will be removed, and the surplus item will become available to other agencies or sold.
Often called "the eBay® of Illinois," iBid is the State's online auction website. The iBid web site allows users to browse and bid for items currently available for sale at public auction. Auctions are held weekly at http://ibid.illinois.gov and interested bidders can find vehicles, office furniture, electronics, machine shop equipment...and much more each week!
Cities and other local governments in Illinois can apply to become a “Seller” of local government surplus and use the State's surplus property online auction website to dispose of their unneeded equipment. Interested Units of Local Government should call (217) 785-6903. iBid can help local governments reap the highest return to its taxpayers from thousands of interested bidders throughout Illinois and around the world, at significantly lower fees than most online auction services.
The GSA Federal Surplus Property Program is administered by the Illinois State Agency for Surplus Property, a division of the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS), and governed by regulations of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). The Federal Property and Administrative Services Act authorizes the donation of federal surplus property. If you have questions regarding the GSA Federal Surplus Property Program, please call 217-785-6903.
Illinois law enforcement agencies are eligible for enrollment in a special equipment program administered by the Illinois Department of Central Management Services, Law Enforcement Support Office Program. The Secretary of Defense is authorized by Title 10 USC § 2576a, 1033 LESO Program, to transfer to Federal and State Agencies, personal property that is excess to the needs of the DOD and that the Secretary determines is suitable to be used by such agencies in law enforcement activities, with emphasis on counter-drug/counter-terrorism activities, under such terms prescribed by the Secretary. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) defines law enforcement activities as activities performed by government agencies whose primary function is the enforcement of applicable Federal, State, and local laws and whose compensated law enforcement officers have powers of arrest and apprehension.
