监察长：国务院322件多余资产符合规章流程

On August 25, 2026, the Office of the Inspector General published the Report of Services to Entities OIG-SE-27-012, “Department of State — Disposal of Surplus Property,” hosted on docs.pr.gov. This institutional batch note is assigned to September 5, 2026 —a day on which the Department of State and the docs.pr.gov portal did not return a new statement of that date in the search window— and states it plainly: it does not pretend a press conference of September 5. The official PDF is read, still the current audit document on the State agency at the start of September, because hub 40 (estado.pr.gov) and hub 41 (docs.pr.gov) are part of Borinquen’s spine and are not filled with stacks of news reports.

The executive summary establishes the origin: on May 21, 2026, the Director of Auxiliary Services of the Department of State requested, via the email serviciosaentidades@oig.pr.gov, the inspection of the processes for the disposition of property classified as surplus. The classification, in the report itself, is 245 units with property numbers and 77 units without numbers. Request for inspection ≠ anonymous complaint. Surplus classification ≠ finding of theft.

The disposal was carried out on June 8, 2026, in a warehouse of the Central Office of the Department in San Juan. 322 units were disposed of, according to the Surplus Property Declarations and the Surplus Material Disposal Request reviewed by the auditors. Of these, 245 had property numbers and 77 did not. The collection for final disposal was done by the contracted recycling company. 322 units ≠ valuation in dollars: the report does not publish a market value for the lot, and this note does not make one up.

The Department submitted, as part of the application: Form SC 787 (Excess Property Declaration, with description and unit numbers); Form SC 1010 (Request for disposal of Excess Material, with description but without the unit numbers); a notarized sworn statement, affidavit number 325, regarding the circumstances of the property without a number; and a Release of Liability. The property was positively verified against SC 787 and SC 1010. Submitted document ≠ physical inventory of the entire agency. Affidavit 325 ≠ criminal charge.

On June 8, during the identification of the equipment declared surplus, the following were present: the Director of Auxiliary Services; the person in charge of property; two assistant employees from the Department; two workers from the recycling company; a security guard; an inspector from the General Services Administration (GSA); and two OIG auditors. Attendance list ≠ criminal chain of custody. GSA inspector ≠ endorsement of a recycling contract whose amount is not publicly disclosed.

Service objective, according to the PDF: to observe that the disposal would be carried out in accordance with Regulation No. 9157, Regulation on Excess Property of the ASG, approved on February 4, 2020, by the Department of State itself. Legal basis of the report: Articles 7, 8, 9, and 17 of Law No. 15-2017, Law of the Inspector General. The report warns, in the summary and in the body, that the auditors' observation “does not constitute an examination or audit by the OIG” and does not contravene jurisdiction for a future intervention. Observation of services to entities ≠ Audit Report with OC-27 type findings. Compliance with 9157 ≠ certificate that there was never any irregularity in other warehouses.

Conclusion of the document, certified by Virgilio Vega Vega (CFE, CIGE), Deputy Director of the Pre-Intervention and Examinations Area, and by José G. Collazo Pérez, principal auditor of the same area: the process was carried out in accordance with Regulation 9157. The report is made public under Law 15-2017. The OIG reiterates its confidential line 787-679-7979 and the email informa@oig.pr.gov for actions that endanger the proper use of public funds. Complaint line ≠ open case on this batch of 322 units.

The PDF also recalls what the Department is: an agency created by Section 6 of Article IV of the Constitution; the Secretary of State directs it and substitutes for the governor in their absence, with legislative advice and consent. Cited functions: relations with the United States and foreign alliances; passports, visas, and consular affairs; promulgation and registration of regulations, executive orders, and decrees; corporations, trademarks, patents, and notary seals; and support for more than 23 Examining Boards. Resources: Joint Resolution of the General Budget and special funds. Page: www.estado.pr.gov. Organizational framework ≠ findings on passports or corporations in this file, which is limited to a surplus warehouse.

Annexes that the report announces and this note does not reproduce: Annex 1, detail of the 245 units with description and number; Annex 2, the 77 without number; Annex 3, photos of the process. Reproducing those lists here would be a dump, not a note. Whoever archives must open the PDF in docs.pr.gov.

Institutional primary: PDF OIG-SE-27-012 on docs.pr.gov (hub 41) about the Department of State (hub 40). Topic: corruption, in the sense of supervision of public property, not of a chargeable crime. Cousin: null. Batch date September 5, 2026; report date August 25, 2026; disposition date June 8, 2026. The three dates are declared so that no one reads a “it was arranged today” that the calendar does not support.

This note from Borinquen adheres to the cited primary source: it does not invent figures, it does not turn an argument into a ruling, it does not treat budgetary obligation as disbursement nor accusation as conviction. Obligated ≠ disbursed ≠ theft. Injunction ≠ final judgment. Audit with findings ≠ criminal conviction. Request for funds ≠ Board authorization. OIG observation ≠ formal audit. Report of services to entities ≠ finding of corruption. Figures of units allocated are counts from the record, not a market appraisal. Where the primary source is silent on a number, this text is also silent.
