The trade-in of equipment to a vendor for similar or like-kind equipment is allowed. The trade-in of equipment is highly recommended since it can result in cost savings when purchasing new equipment.
A vendor quote is required detailing the benefit of the trade-in (discount toward a new purchase, avoidance of removal cost, etc.). Georgia DOAS Surplus must approve all trade-in of equipment and will issue what is normally referred to as a “V#” when approved. The “V#” documentation can be obtained by emailing a copy of the vendor quote to [email protected]. Quotes are usually reviewed and approved by Georgia DOAS within 2-3 business days, dependent on the number of pending submissions.
