Surplus Property Process SPD – Form A Description of Item – if there are several of the same item (i.e. 10 chairs) these can be put on one line as long as the condition is the same for all of the items. Condition – the box checked on this form tells the Surplus Property staff the next step in the process so it’s very important that this box is filled out. – If there will be items that are both usable & nonusable it would be easier for record keeping if these items are submitted on separate forms. Safety Office Form 205A – this form is found on the Campus Safety & Security website under Forms and it’s called the “Decontamination of Equipment Form.” The UND Asset Tag should be removed from the item by the department before it’s picked up.
