Equipment

Tagging

Tagging Criteria:

All equipment with a purchase price of $500 or more meets the criteria to be tagged and tracked by the office of Property Control. Equipment with a purchase price of at least $100 but less than $500 that is considered (by Property Control) to be at high risk for theft also meets the criteria to be tagged and tracked. The list of equipment considered to be high risk for theft is subject to review and, therefore, is fluid and unfixed.

Tag Placement:

Placement of tags by Property Control meets and is in accordance with Central Management Services and, therefore, should not be removed or relocated on the equipment.

Certain equipment or inventory is such that applying a tag is impracticable. This equipment will be marked and/or tracked using an alternative method.

Types & Use:

Illinois State University 6 Digit Bar Coded Tags are applied by Property Control to all equipment meeting the criteria set by the State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services and all equipment deemed as High Risk for theft by the office of Property Control.

Property of Illinois State University Tags are applied to all equipment/property that does not meet the criteria of the bar coded tag and is not reported to the State of Illinois Central Management Services.

Departmental 9 Digit Bar Coded Tags are available to individual departments. These tags can be used for any and all items within the department. The department may apply these tags and track them at their own discretion. Departmental tags are optional, are for the sole use and purpose of the department, and can be used in conjunction with Property Control tags. Departmental tags include the department name and a 9-digit number (part of which is exclusive to the department). Contact your specialist for more info or to request these tags.
