When the administrator determines that property is to be disposed of by sale, he shall offer it first to the following entities for purchase at an appraised value:
Notice of inspection or viewing dates and property lists shall be distributed in the manner provided in rules and regulations promulgated by the Administrator for that purpose.
Electronic data processing equipment purchased and charged to appropriations may, at the discretion of the administrator, be sold, pursuant to contracts entered into by the Director of Central Management Services or the heads of agencies exempt from "The Illinois Purchasing Act". However such equipment shall not be sold at prices less than the purchase cost thereof or depreciated value as determined by the administrator. No sale of the electronic data processing equipment and lease to the State by the purchaser of such equipment shall be made under this Act unless the Director of Central Management Services finds that such contracts are financially advantageous to the State.
Disposition of other transferable property by sale, except sales directly to local governmental units, school districts, and not-for-profit educational, charitable and public health organizations, shall be subject to the following minimum conditions:
A transfer of property under this subsection is not subject to the requirements of subsection (a) or (b).
In addition, an agency covered by this Act may sell or exchange books, serial publications, and other library materials that have been withdrawn from its library collection through a regular collection evaluation process. Those items may be sold to the public at library book sales or to book dealers or may be offered through exchange to book dealers or other organizations. Revenues generated from the sale of withdrawn items shall be retained by the agency in a separate account to be used solely for the purchase of library materials; except that in the case of the State Library, revenues from the sale of withdrawn items shall be deposited into the State Library Fund to be used for the purposes stated in Section 25 of the State Library Act.
For purposes of this subsection (c), "library materials" means physical entities of any substance that serve as carriers of information, including, without limitation, books, serial publications, periodicals, microforms, graphics, audio or video recordings, and machine readable data files.
