Ohio hosts several major federal installations that regularly auction surplus equipment and property, including Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton and the Defense Supply Center Columbus. Government agencies across the state sell office furniture and IT equipment through platforms like GovDeals, GovPlanet, and PublicSurplus. Buyers in Ohio can find particularly strong inventory in automotive equipment, industrial machinery, and electronics from federal surplus auctions. State and local government agencies also conduct their own auctions through Municibid and other platforms, offering additional opportunities to bid on public works equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What federal agencies and facilities conduct auctions in Ohio?

Ohio has significant federal presence through agencies like the General Services Administration (GSA), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and the IRS. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton is one of the largest sources of federal surplus in the state, regularly auctioning military equipment and vehicles. The Defense Supply Center Columbus also conducts auctions. Additionally, U.S. Marshals and other federal agencies sell seized and excess property through government auction platforms. BidProwl aggregates listings from all these sources so you can search Ohio auctions in one place.

How do Ohio state and local government auctions work?

Ohio state agencies, municipalities, and counties sell surplus property through platforms like Municibid and PublicSurplus. Cities and counties typically auction vehicles, equipment, and real property that they no longer need. The auction process usually involves online bidding, with items going to the highest bidder. Each municipality sets its own terms, so you'll want to check the specific listing for payment methods, pickup deadlines, and any buyer's fees. State agencies also conduct their own auctions following Ohio procurement rules.

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

Ohio auctions feature strong inventory in vehicles (police cars, fire trucks, maintenance vehicles), industrial equipment and machinery, construction tools, office furniture, computers and electronics, and heavy equipment. Wright-Patterson Air Force Base auctions tend to include specialized military equipment and vehicles. Manufacturing-heavy regions of Ohio like the Cleveland and Cincinnati areas see regular auctions of factory equipment. Agricultural equipment and public works machinery also appear frequently from county and township auctions across the state.
