Can the Warehouse store items for campus departments?
Unfortunately, the Warehouse does not have space to store items for departments.

Who is responsible for moving or transferring furniture on campus?
The Facilities Department is responsible for all moves and transfers on campus. 

Who do we contact for surplus pick-up?
You must first fill out a Surplus Inventory Request Form.  The completed form with all necessary signatures should be forwarded to Surplus@Palomar.edu with a copy to Pai Wang-Smith (pwang-mith@palomar.edu) in Fiscal Services.  Surplus equipment/furniture will be picked up as soon as practicable.  Be sure to plan ahead well in advance of the need.  Surplus items are picked up by Warehouse Services as soon as staff is available to do so.  Often due to limited storage at the District, there is a wait time before this can take place.

Important note regarding technology: The IS Department must deprogram technology (computers, tablets, copiers, etc.) first before a surplus form is submitted.  

How/where is surplus equipment/furniture sold? 
Surplus items are sold via online auction through the District’s CalAuctions online bidding platform.  Auctions take place intermittently throughout the year.  All items are sold to the highest responsible/responsive bidder.
