Sale of Federal Surplus Personal Property

To sell personal property no longer needed by the Government in an expeditious, economical
and efficient manner and to obtain the maximum net return from sales.

The General Services Administration's GSA Auctions conducts the sale of personal property for most of the civilian agencies; the Department of Defense handles the sale of its own surplus property.

Competitive bid sales are open to the general public, however bidders must be at least 18 years of age. Individuals cannot successfully register to bid on items without providing a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). A TIN is defined as an individual's Social Security Number (SSN) or business entity's Employer Identification Number (EIN).

Property is awarded to that responsible bidder whose bid conforms to the invitation and is most advantageous to the Government, though price and other factors may be considered. For internet sales, the successful bidders will be notified by email and must submit payment within 2 business days from the date & time the award email notification was sent. Award notices for other sale methods may be furnished by U.S. mail, email or telephone. It is the bidder's responsibility to follow-up on the status of his/her bid and to ensure that his/her email address and all registration data are kept accurate and up-to-date.

Bids can be rejected for any reason, especially those containing inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information, or information which is deemed to have been given in bad faith.
