<br />1. Equipment is a type of fixed asset consisting of specific items of property that: ( 1) is tangible in
<br />nature; (2) has a life longer than one year; and (3) has a significant value.
<br />a) For Inventory Purposes
<br />1) Equipment must be accounted for in accordance with the North Carolina Department
<br />of State Treasurer's Policy Manual for Local Government, Chapter 20, Capital
<br />Assets.
<br />2) All equipment with an acquisition cost of $500 or more which was purchased with
<br />Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program Funds, prior to January 1, 2018 will be
<br />inventoried with the Women's and Children's Health Section. The Local Agency is
<br />responsible for assigning a fixed asset number and applying a fixed asset tag to
<br />equipment purchased by the Local Agency, using WIC funds, after January 1, 2018.
<br />Within 60 days of the purchase, the Local Agency will provide to the Nutrition
<br />Services Branch a written report of the purchase, including a description of the item
<br />purchased, serial number, fixed asset tag number, and a copy of the bill of sale.
<br />b) For Prior Approval Purposes
<br />1) Except for WIC, all equipment purchased or leased with an acquisition cost
<br />exceeding $2,500, where there is an option to purchase with State/federal funds, the
<br />purchase or lease must receive prior written approval from the appropriate Section
<br />and Branch within DPH. [See Subparagraph 2 below for WIC requirements.] For
<br />those purchased with Public Health Preparedness & Response Branch funds only, any
<br />purchase exceeding $2,500 per invoice shall be treated as a single purchase for prior
<br />approval purposes. [For example, on one invoice, the LHD purchases a computer,
<br />monitor, and printer totaling more than $2,500, or purchases six computers at $500
<br />each.]
<br />2) For WIC, all computer and medical equipment purchased or leased, must receive
<br />prior written approval from the Branch regardless of cost. In addition, all other
<br />tangible assets (non-computer/medical) with an acquisition cost exceeding $500 must
