Colorado hosts several active federal installations that regularly auction surplus equipment and property, including Fort Carson near Colorado Springs and the Denver Federal Center. Government agencies across the state sell vehicles and IT equipment through platforms like GovDeals, PublicSurplus, and Municibid. Heavy equipment and construction materials are particularly common in Colorado auctions due to ongoing infrastructure projects, while Denver and surrounding areas see frequent vehicle and office supply listings from federal agencies.
The GSA (General Services Administration) runs the largest federal auction program in Colorado, primarily through GovDeals. The DLA (Defense Logistics Agency) auctions military surplus, especially from Fort Carson. The IRS auctions seized property, and US Marshals sell forfeited assets. Additionally, local Colorado agencies and municipalities use platforms like PublicSurplus and Municibid to sell county and city surplus inventory.
Colorado auctions feature heavy equipment and construction machinery from federal projects, vehicles from various agencies, office equipment and furniture, IT hardware, tools, and industrial supplies. Auctions from Denver-area facilities often include standard office inventory, while Fort Carson and rural locations typically have more specialized equipment. The specific inventory changes regularly, so checking BidProwl frequently helps you catch items relevant to your needs.
