??? About GSAEXCESS

[RJAbbott]

In another thread about AFG grants a poster by the name of pikepole25 made a comment that you could acquire a truck from GSAEXCESS. I have looked up and found the site but I haven't found any clear information about how you look to see what is available, or how to get equipment.

Does anyone have any information about this?

Primary route for a FD to requistion GSA or DOD surplus is thru your state forester.

For info on DOD surplus search this forum under subject FEPP

In New york State , GSA excess is managed by the State Government federal surplus office, You have to be registered with the office in order to pick up the equipment with a service charge-minimal. link is posted below--some of the equipment is junk, some is in excellant condition

As stated above some items are well used junk - other items are in good working order. In the last year we have aquired a brush truck - laptop computer - 10k generator - treadmill. All items were in good condition - we just had to go get the items.

Our state does not have a really strong state forester... due to lack of funding.

Any suggestions?

There should be a contact list on the GSAXCESS site, I usually search myself then contact my state person.
