Finding Surplus Sales Advertisements

- Regional Telephone Information. Buyers can obtain information about upcoming sales by dialing GSA's regional telephone information lines for recorded messages (Not all regions have recorded messages.)
- Local Media Outlets. GSA advertises in local newspapers and on radio, and sometimes posts notices in public buildings.
- National Media. Highly specialized sales, or those that might generate interest nationwide, are announced in national newspapers, trade journals, and periodicals.
- SAM.gov. GSA advertises sales of national interest online at Contract Opportunities on SAM.gov.
