This unit manages the INSITE Database for equipment acquired from purchase orders, LVPOs, college requisitions, donations, Federal Surplus, transfers, and fabrications.
The department is responsible for bar code tagging all items with cost greater than $1,000 (and for all computers regardless of cost).
We are also responsible for completing department physical inventories every two years to comply with the Office of Management and Budget Circular’s A-21 and A-110.
For donated equipment contact the University's web site for procedures and instructions in the University Manual, Appendix G at http://www.uri.edu/facsen/APPENDIX_Gconts.html.
When a University department declares a piece of inventoried State equipment surplus to its needs: that equipment will be offered to other University departments first, then other State Agencies and finally the municipalities or non-profit agencies. (For more information on how the process if handled, click here for News & Updates on the Surplus Equipment Procedures.)
Our office must be notified:
*if a piece of equipment is stolen or lost, * before equipment is used for a trade in, *when equipment becomes surplus to a department's needs.A Certification of Unavailability/Unsuitability form (Screening form) must accompany all requisitions to purchase Federal equipment only with a value of $5,000 or more. The screening form is now located on our website under FORMS. The table for screening levels necessary for specific equipment purchases or lease requests can be found in Section 4.30 pages 32-33 of the University User Manual, also located on the website under POLICIES & PROCEDURES. The screening procedure can be found in Section 5.11 pages 36-37. To download that form click here.
