After the successful bidder has paid for their items and presented the receipt, they shall be requested to sign a delivery receipt to signify that they have received the material. When scrap and junk is being sold, the person taking delivery shall either sign a delivery receipt or give the agency a receipt indicating the type and approximate quantity of material removed from the premises.

After the sale of material is completed, the amount of cash received shall be recorded on the approved copy of the STD 152, which is retained by the state agency.

Whenever public sales are conducted, a system of checks and balances shall be used. This shall, at a minimum, consist of having separate persons handle the sale and the collection of funds.

State employees may participate in public sales providing they do so in the same manner as the public. Employees may not use their position, office or prestige to their advantage when participating in sales of materials, nor may they participate on state time.

Where agencies identify surplus electronic equipment with no useful life remaining (E-Waste), agencies are required to use the services of a California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC)-authorized E-Waste handler. More information is available on the DTSC website.

Media Sanitization

Agencies must sanitize all surplus electronic equipment in accordance with SAM Section 5365.3 prior to reutilization or disposal.

Submit STD 152s electronically through the CSPS portal.
