Surplus property auctions provide the general public an opportunity to
purchase quality goods at reduced prices and enable the state to recoup
a portion of its initial investment. Auctions generated $3,195,338 last
fiscal year.
Public auctions are the last step in the state's surplus program. State
agencies declare property as surplus because it is damaged or at the end
of its life cycle for government use. The property is then made available
to other state agencies, state colleges and universities, tax-supported
agencies, municipal corporations and other political subdivisions of the
state, including public schools. Remaining property is sold at the public
auctions. Auction merchandise also includes items collected by the Transportation
Security Administration from airline passengers.

property auctions, visit the State and Federal Surplus Web site at
