It is now located under the Department of Economic and Community Affairs, by way of Executive Order No. 11 issued by Governor George C. Wallace on August 22, 1983.

Federal surplus property disposition is governed by the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended, the Federal Property Management Improvement Act of 1988, and the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1988.

(3) The Surplus Property Division is given full authority to handle the transfer of government surplus personal property, as well as the transfer of personal property from any other institutions both public and private within the State of Alabama, and to handle the fair and equitable distribution of all property transferred to the State.
