Did you know about this source for low-cost supplies?

Maine Surplus Property, part of the Division of Central Services, provides an opportunity for nonprofits and municipalities to acquire surplus items that are no longer needed by state departments at a significantly reduced cost.

What types of things are available?

Examples of Maine Surplus Property include:

• Computers, monitors, printers
• Tables, desks, chairs, filing cabinets
• Office supplies, white boards
• Vehicles and heavy equipment (more relevant to municipalities, but useful to some nonprofits, too!)

How do you purchase items?

To get early information and access to purchase items before they are made available to the public, become an approved donee! Download the application here.

After your application is approved, you can purchase any available surplus items up to 30 days before they are offered to the public. New items are added to the surplus inventory every day.

• Donees can view and purchase surplus items that are stored in their warehouse at 85 Leighton Road in Augusta every Monday through Friday between 8:00am – 3:30pm.
• Donees can view the inventory of vehicles, trailers, boats, and larger items on this webpage or in person beginning at 1:00pm on the third Thursday of each month (called Donee Viewing Day). After Donee Viewing Day items are made available to the public on GovPlanet.

Maine Surplus Property has a public sale on the second Friday of every month. The warehouse has the most items available to donees Monday through Thursday on the week of the public sale and will have fewer items directly after the sale on Friday morning.

Approved donees can also acquire federal surplus property available from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).
