In an effort to support the wonderful organizations in West Virginia, WV Surplus operates a special program for eligible organizations. This program assists organizations in our state with stretching their budgets as they serve the people of West Virginia.
What is an eligible organization?
In addition to West Virginia state agencies, qualifying eligible organizations include:
- 501(c)3 nonprofits
- County commissions
- County boards of education
- Local Municipalities
- Parks and recreation commissions
- Other nonprofits

What are the benefits of being a registered eligible organization?

How do I view state inventory?
Inventory can be viewed several ways. The first is by visiting our warehouse in Dunbar during our normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., excluding state holidays). WV Surplus also conducts online auctions through GovDeals. If an eligible organization sees an item they want on an online auction, that entity can request for it to be removed from auction and sold directly to them.
Eligible organizations may also file a “want” list with WV Surplus. Our staff will monitor this list and notify the eligible organization if an item is received that fits that organization's needs.
How do I view/obtain federal inventory?
WV Surplus is the only agency authorized to obtain federal surplus property in West Virginia for registered eligible organizations. Please note that not all eligible organizations qualify for federal property. To find out if you qualify, please call WV Surplus at 304-766-2626.
Federal property available at the WV Surplus warehouse includes police vehicles, desks, and office furniture.
Additional available federal p
roperty may be viewed online at PPMS.gov. Organizations interested in viewing property must contact WV Surplus for assistance obtaining a unique User ID and Password. Once an entity finds property that it would like to obtain, the
organization must contact WV Surplus to make arrangements for securing
the property. All federal property is offered on an “as is, where is”
basis, and the requesting organization is responsible for the pickup and
transport of the property from its current location to the eligible
organization’s location.
