REAL PROPERTY & LEASING

Real Property and Leasing (RPL) negotiates and manages leases for state agencies throughout the state. RPL manages 77.0% of all state leased space in Montana. The RPL program serves State agencies by providing safe and accessible space throughout the state. A State agency may not lease, rent, or purchase property for office space, or other building space without the prior approval of the Department of Administration (MCA 2-17-101 (2)). General Services has established parameters that must be met before the Department will approve a lease. Although compliance with these parameters doesn't guarantee approval of a lease, it generally expedites the process. RPL currently administers approximately 400 leases statewide, comprising nearly 1.7 million square feet of office, laboratory, storage, and specialized space.

SURPLUS PROPERTY & RECYCLING

Surplus Property and Recycling (SPR) manages both the state and federal surplus property programs, making surplus property services available to all city, county, and tribal governments in Montana. SPR also manages recycling contracts. The Surplus Property & Recycling Program is designed for donees (state agencies, city/county, police, fire, and non-profits) who qualify for the surplus program to buy surplus as needed at a set price.

Surplus screens and picks up federal surplus property from the Department of Defense and other federal agencies. This program is only available to state agencies, local governments, schools and eligible non-profit organizations. Surplus property is also offered for sale on our internet site at publicsurplus.com. This bidding site is open to both the general public and the donees. The public can also purchase surplus property at the monthly garage sale and the annual vehicle and equipment auction.
