The Centralized Excess Property Operation (CEPO) is a disposal unit for excess/surplus personal property released by the USDA agencies, staff offices, and division in the Washington Metropolitan Area. In addition to providing personal property disposal services, CEPO provides recycling services through the re-issuance/ transfer of as-is furniture, used office equipment and the sale of Rehab Furniture to USDA agencies. We also sell surplus personal property to the general public via various types of sales. (See Auction).
CEPO works diligently to provide excess computer equipment to schools and nonprofit organizations under Presidential order 12999 Computers for Learning Program. This program allows Federal agencies to transfer used/excess computers to the schools and nonprofit organizations for the purpose of education.
CEPO also oversees central receiving functions at the HQ USDA South Building.

Centralized Excess Property Operation (CEPO) works diligently to provide excess computer equipment to schools and non-profit organizations. This program was created in response to Presidential order 12999 Computers for Learning Program, empowering America's children for the 21st century. This program allows Federal agencies to transfer used/excess computers to schools and nonprofit organizations for the purpose of education.
CEPO receives and screens an estimated 1,500 pieces of computer equipment on a daily basis. The equipment selected for the CFL program is placed in a holding area for testing and repair prior to donation to educational institutions. It is paramount that we test and repair the equipment prior to donating it, so that the schools can put it into immediate use.
