Surplus property is property that the government no longer needs. Personal property includes assets ranging from office equipment and furniture to scientific equipment, heavy machinery, airplanes, vessels, and vehicles. If this property cannot be donated to a state or public agency, or nonprofit organization, the general public can buy it.
You can purchase surplus government property through GSA Auctions®. The site offers the general public the chance to bid electronically on federal assets. All registered participants can bid on a single item or multiple items (lots) within specified time frames.
When no federal agencies need real property, it is determined to be surplus and may be made available for other uses through public benefit conveyances, including homeless use, negotiated sales, or public sales, based on GSA’s determination of the property’s highest and best use.
We sell used personal property according to the U.S. Government’s Standard Form 114C April 2001, “General Sale Terms and Conditions.” You may ask to review a copy from any of the GSA regional sales offices. Please study the terms and conditions in the invitation for bid, and in any notices provided at auctions and other sales. Be sure you understand any special terms.
You can pay using the following ways:
If you are making payment via EFT/Wire Transfers, please contact the regional Sales office responsible for a specific item to make arrangements. Checks, bank drafts, and debit cards with dollar limitations and/or PIN Number requirements, are not acceptable.
The government does not provide any form of financing.
Purchasers must remove their purchases within the time prescribed for each sale, but they cannot remove merchandise before paying. You are responsible for removing your purchase after you pay.
If you fail to pay for and remove your merchandise by the deadline, the government can collect damages.
If the award amount is less than $325, the fee will be equal to the award amount. If the award amount is between $325 and $100,000, the fee assessed will be $325. If the award amount is greater than $100,000, the fee will be equal to 5% of the award amount.

Unless otherwise specified, the per diem locality is defined as "all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city, including independent entities located within those boundaries."
Per diem localities with county definitions shall include"all locations within, or entirely surrounded by, the corporate limits of the key city as well as the boundaries of the listed counties, including independent entities located within the boundaries of the key city and the listed counties (unless otherwise listed separately)."
When a military installation or Government - related facility(whether or not specifically named) is located partially within more than one city or county boundary, the applicable per diem rate for the entire installation or facility is the higher of the rates which apply to the cities and / or counties, even though part(s) of such activities may be located outside the defined per diem locality.
