Information for Veterans
We are proud to offer low-cost surplus personal property such as computers, furniture, appliances, vehicles, office equipment, heavy construction equipment, medical supplies, and other property for veteran-owned small businesses (VOSB), service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB) and veteran service organizations (VSO) participating in the Federal Surplus Personal Property Donation Program.
Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB)
We are happy to provide guidance and support to help you through the application process. To learn more about the VOSB program, please watch this short, four-minute video. To learn about the VSO program, scroll down the page to the VSO section.
The Veterans Small Business Enhancement Act of 2018 allows qualified veteran-owned small businesses to acquire federal surplus property through their State Agency for Surplus Property (SASP). Our Surplus Property Division is the designated SASP for the state of Georgia.
For this program, VOSB and SDVOSB are regarded equally and there is no distinction.
