Alabama hosts several major federal installations that regularly liquidate surplus equipment and vehicles through public auctions. Fort Rucker near Dothan and Maxwell Air Force Base near Montgomery generate consistent inventory across construction equipment, vehicles, and IT hardware. You'll find office furniture and electronic equipment across multiple auction platforms. State agencies and municipalities also sell surplus property, creating additional opportunities for buyers looking for deals on used government assets.
Fort Rucker (U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence) near Dothan and Maxwell Air Force Base near Montgomery are the primary sources of federal surplus in Alabama. Both installations regularly auction vehicles, construction equipment, and office equipment. The GSA (General Services Administration) handles much of this liquidation, along with the DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) for military-specific assets. You'll also see auctions from the IRS and U.S. Marshals Service for seized and forfeited property.
State agencies and cities across Alabama post surplus property on platforms like PublicSurplus, GovDeals, and Municibid. These platforms host auctions for equipment that local governments no longer need, including vehicles from police and fire departments, road maintenance equipment, and office furniture. Each municipality sets its own auction schedule, so checking these platforms regularly helps you catch new listings as they go live.
Popular categories include pickup trucks and sedans from police departments, heavy equipment and graders from transportation departments, construction machinery, and IT equipment like computers and servers. You'll also find smaller items such as filing cabinets, desks, and tools. Military installations tend to have more specialized equipment, while municipal auctions focus on fleet vehicles and public works machinery. Real estate and land parcels appear less frequently but do show up periodically.
