Enterprise ITAD upstream: EquipNet and CompuCycle corporate asset disposal and remarketing
Fields
supply/itad-upstream-equipnet-compucycleNotes
Recorded as the UPSTREAM of the used/ex-datacenter market and deliberately NOT priced. These are the refurb houses and IT asset disposition providers that take decommissioned corporate fleets and put them back into commerce; they are where ex-datacenter and ex-enterprise silicon physically enters the secondary channel. EQUIPNET: runs a timed-auction marketplace for ex-corporate IT with facets All Listings / Featured / New / Auction Listings, publishes Auction Terms & Conditions, and offers in-house Refurbishment & Repairs laboratory support plus IT Asset Disposal. It also runs certified-refurbished programmes (e.g. a certified-refurbished analytical-equipment project with a View Inventory link). Primarily laboratory and general IT - AI accelerators appear only opportunistically. No GPU lot with a visible price was retrievable without a session, hence price_usd null. COMPUCYCLE: enterprise ITAD - site carries IT Asset Disposal framed as 'secure and compliant disposal of corporate IT assets, with a focus on data security and environmental responsibility', plus a 'BID LOGIN' and 'Corporate Quote' motion and ITAD-adjacent asset-recovery services. No published price list exists because access is bid- and quote-only. WHY THIS MATTERS FOR ANY BUYER: the bid/quote-only access structure is itself the finding. Real ex-datacenter supply does not transact at published prices - it transacts through ITAD bid lots and one-off eBay pulls from liquidators. That is why the only defensible public price points for used accelerators are marketplace asks, and why those asks should be treated as ceilings.
LEAD TIME: null and it is an EXPLICIT NEGATIVE, checked 2026-10-04. This is a quote-only channel - no price and no lead time is published on any page, and AGENTS.md forbids inventing an unsourced number, so the field stays null with the reason recorded. The negative is itself a procurement fact: a channel that will not state a lead time is a channel where the lead time is set by whatever allocation you happen to have, and it is exactly the kind of number to ask for in writing before signing. Probe log and per-vendor detail in source spl-negative-no-oem-publishes-lead-time; the one figure published anywhere in this chain is AWS's 8-week MAXIMUM Capacity Block booking horizon, which is a commitment ceiling rather than a delivery time.
ACCELERATOR LINKS ADDED 2026-10-04: this is the UPSTREAM of the used/ex-datacenter market, so the ids name what physically enters the secondary channel through an ITAD - retired A100 80GB (SXM4 and PCIe conversions), ex-datacenter H100 PCIe, and ex-enterprise RTX 3090, which is the volume tier. The value of naming them here is that ITAD/refurb supply arrives with a tested-and-capped warranty and a known provenance, unlike an anonymous marketplace listing, and that distinction is only visible if the upstream and the downstream records are linked to the same silicon.
EXPORT CONTROL (2026-10-04, mechanism-level; source spl-eccn-3a090-ccl): recorded FALSE as a CHANNEL property, and the reasoning matters more than the value. An ITAD remarketing decommissioned corporate fleets is not itself a controlled-party channel - EquipNet and CompuCycle are refurb/disposal businesses, not exporters of controlled items - so the channel imposes no additional restriction. But that is emphatically NOT a statement that the silicon is unrestricted: several parts in the ids list on this record (retired A100 80GB, ex-datacenter H100 PCIe) ARE ECCN 3A090-class, and a buyer of used datacenter silicon from any channel remains bound by the US export licence rules, the 742.6(a)(6)(iii)(A) end-user/ultimate-parent test and the consignee screening obligations. Where resold datacenter silicon crosses a border the channel changes the compliance question from 'is this shipment licensed' to 'who is the consignee and who is its ultimate parent' - and for used parts the exporter of record is frequently neither the refurb house nor the original vendor. Screen the PART, not the channel.
