Trade in Information
Before any Trade-In can occur, State Departments must obtain approval for discarding their IT equipment from the DGS Surplus Property and Reutilization Program. In accordance with the State Administrative Manual (SAM), Chapter 5900, Information Technology-Disposal of IT Equipment, each agency must explore the reutilization of surplus IT equipment prior to requesting approval for recycling or attempting to use the equipment as a credit toward the purchase of new equipment.
This contract offers a Trade-In Program. It is not mandatory that ordering agencies use the Trade-In service offered.
Trade-In company: Lenovo, 8001 Development Dr Morrisville, NS 27560.
The Lenovo Asset Recovery Services trade-in process begins with the customer submitting a pickup request, after which a Lenovo Project Manager coordinates secure transportation of the assets to a Lenovo processing facility. Upon arrival, the assets are logged, audited, and assessed for refurbishment, repair, or recycling. Refurbishable items are repaired and cleaned, while non-repairable ones are de-manufactured to salvage parts or recycled by separating metals and plastics for reuse. Throughout the process, any data-containing components undergo NIST SP 800-88 Rev.1-compliant data sanitization. The process ensures secure handling, environmental responsibility, and maximization of asset value.
GST works with Lenovo partners and authorized partners to provide a trade-in program for the State of CA. Trade-in depends on multiple factors such as the type of equipment, age of equipment, condition, etc. Trade-in value can include cash discounts, trade-up, product discount, additional warranty, or any other value deemed by Lenovo. GST will work with the State of CA to evaluate Lenovo trade in products. For any submissions, the State of CA can contact GST Customer Support Team at phone number (800) 833-0128 or email castate@gstinc.com.
