Florida hosts several major federal installations that regularly conduct surplus auctions, including MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa and Naval Station Mayport near Jacksonville. The GSA, DLA, IRS, and US Marshals Service all sell seized and surplus inventory through platforms like GovDeals, GovPlanet, and PublicSurplus. Popular categories in Florida auctions include heavy equipment, commercial vehicles, maritime equipment, and office furniture, with seasonal spikes during fiscal year closeouts and military base restructuring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What federal agencies and facilities conduct auctions in Florida?

Several federal agencies operate in Florida and regularly conduct surplus auctions. The GSA (General Services Administration) sells federal property through its official auctions. The DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) handles military surplus from bases like MacDill Air Force Base and Naval Station Mayport. The IRS auctions seized property and vehicles, while the US Marshals Service sells assets from criminal forfeitures. Each agency uses different platforms, but BidProwl aggregates listings from all of them in one place.

How do Florida state and local government auctions work?

Florida counties and municipalities conduct their own surplus auctions through platforms like Municibid and PublicSurplus. These agencies sell surplus equipment, vehicles, and property they no longer need. Each county or city sets its own auction rules, bid increments, and payment terms. State agencies like the Florida Department of Transportation also sell surplus inventory. Bidders can participate in auctions from multiple jurisdictions across the state through a single aggregator like BidProwl.

What types of items are commonly available in Florida government auctions?

Florida auctions feature diverse inventory based on the agencies involved. Federal auctions from military bases include heavy construction equipment, trucks, and marine vessels. GSA auctions typically have office furniture, computers, and industrial machinery. IRS forfeitures often include vehicles and commercial equipment. Local government auctions feature road maintenance equipment, police vehicles, and building fixtures. Seasonal trends matter too: fiscal year-end auctions (September and January) tend to have higher volumes as agencies clear their budgets.
