SURPLUS ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT - FOSTER YOUTH - 3520.11

State departments are encouraged to donate surplus laptops and other portable computer equipment to the foster youth attending a California state college or university. Donation of this equipment is enabled through the Department of General Services (DGS) State Surplus Property Program.

Entities eligible to receive this equipment include the aforementioned institutions of higher education, and non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations associated with those institutions. To donate a computing device to a foster youth, state agencies will follow state surplus property procedures outlined in SAM Section 3520 et seq., and shall ensure the computing device has been sanitized in accordance with SAM section 3520.10.

The device then will then be listed on the DGS California Surplus Property System (CSPS) as a donation and can be delivered to the eligible entity for subsequent distribution to the student.
