GovSales
| GovSales is a product of the Federal Asset Sales initiative, which is one of the President’s Expanding Electronic Government initiatives, and it is one of the five E-Government initiatives managed by GSA. Its mission is to create a secure, efficient, and effective online e-marketplace that will serve as a single-point for the public to find and buy federal assets. |

Each year the federal government sells billions of dollars of surplus, seized, forfeited and exchange/sale assets. GovSales was launched to make it easier for citizens and businesses to locate government assets for sale and to effectively improve the promotion of government sales through a centralized, citizen centered website and additional advertising.
GovSales objectives are to:
- Make it easier for citizens and businesses to find and buy government assets;
- Increase agencies' net proceeds from asset sales;
- Decrease agencies' expenses related to asset sales;
- Accelerate asset sales time;
- Leverage economies of scale and reach a broader customer base; and
- Take advantage of market driven "best in class" practices and solutions.
All agencies now sell their unwanted assets using the Sales Center (SC) market-driven approach for asset sales. For more information on the GovSales initiative, feel free to use the "Contacts" in the right margin.
