GCTransfer
Material managers can use GCTransfer to advertise surplus assets available for transfer within the federal domain. First, an asset must be declared surplus by submitting a Report of Surplus (ROS) using the GCSci platform and selecting “transfer” as the posting type. Transfers are generally done from our clients’ locations. A GCSurplus Divestment Officer will review the listing and post it on GCTransfer.
Visit the GCTransfer page for more information.
Surplus assets that do not transfer within the federal domain can then be listed on the GCSurplus auction website.
GCSurplus Auction
Material managers can use the GCSurplus auction website to advertise surplus assets for sale to the general public. First, an asset must be declared surplus by submitting a Report of Surplus (ROS) using the GCSci platform and selecting “sell” as the posting type. We can process sales from our client’s location or from a GCSurplus warehouse. A GCSurplus representative will work closely with the declaring institution to create a listing that will be posted on the GCSurplus auction website.
Any Canadian over the age of 18 or business can register for a GCSurplus account allowing them to view and bid on surplus items listed for sale. The highest bidder wins the auction and the successful bidder will receive an email from GCSurplus with an invoice, payment instructions and removal deadline.
GCDonate
Material managers can use the GCDonate platform to advertise surplus assets available for donation. The declaring institution must declare an asset surplus by submitting a Report of Surplus (ROS) using the GCSci platform and selecting “donate” as the posting type. A GCSurplus representative will work closely with the declaring institution to create a listing that will be posted on the GCDonate platform.
To view and request surplus assets available on GCDonate, eligible organizations must register with our program. Donations can only be made to charitable or non-profit organizations, the United Nations, Treaty organizations of which Canada is a member, other national governments, Indigenous peoples (groups and organizations) and other levels of government in Canada.
GCSurplus representatives or the declaring department can approve requests received from eligible organizations.
GCMil and specialized assets
Material managers can use the GCMIL and specialized assets platform to divest of assets. The declaring institution must declare an asset surplus by submitting a Report of Surplus (ROS) using the GCSci platform and identifying the specialized requirements related to the divestment request. For more information, please contact GCMil.
