1. (a) An agency shall not utilize an item that would otherwise be declared surplus, and that would therefore be subject to redistribution or disposal under these rules, as a trade-in for goods or services that the agency intends to obtain from another entity without first contacting surplus property management and requesting authorization to use of the item as a trade-in.
2. (b) No item shall be used as a trade-in under (a) above unless surplus property management concludes that the proposed trade-in value is greater than the estimated disposal value of the item if it was to be offered for sale by the division.
3. (c) If the trade-in value is estimated by surplus property management under (b) above to be financially beneficial to the state, and authorization for trade-in is given, that authorization shall apply only to the specific transaction.
