Georgia hosts a significant amount of government surplus inventory due to its major federal presence and active state programs. The state is home to several large military installations including Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning), Fort Gordon, and Robins Air Force Base, all of which regularly auction surplus equipment, vehicles, and tools. These bases generate consistent inventory from maintenance operations, base closures, and equipment upgrades. Beyond military facilities, Georgia has numerous federal agencies with auction activity. The IRS conducts regular auctions of seized property throughout the state, while the General Services Administration (GSA) manages federal office equipment and surplus from Atlanta and other regional hubs. The U.S. Marshals Service also auctions seized assets in Georgia regularly. State and local government surplus is another major source. Georgia's state agencies, county governments, and municipalities use platforms like GovDeals and PublicSurplus to sell used office equipment, vehicles, IT equipment, and construction materials. Many Georgia counties have established regular auction schedules. Popular auction categories in Georgia include heavy equipment and machinery (driven by industrial activity in the state), office furniture and IT equipment (from government offices in Atlanta), vehicles and fleet equipment, and construction materials. The Atlanta metro area generates particularly high volume due to concentration of federal offices and state government headquarters. Geographic factors matter too. Atlanta and surrounding counties see more frequent auctions of office equipment and electronics. Rural areas and regions near military bases tend to have more heavy equipment and specialized industrial items. Seasonal patterns exist as well, with end-of-fiscal-year auctions typically occurring in September.
Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning) near Columbus and Robins Air Force Base near Macon are the largest sources of military surplus. Fort Gordon near Augusta also conducts regular auctions. Beyond military bases, the GSA regional office in Atlanta handles federal property from offices across Georgia. The IRS conducts property auctions from seized assets, and the U.S. Marshals Service regularly lists items in major Georgia cities.
Georgia state agencies and municipalities post surplus inventory on platforms like GovDeals and PublicSurplus. Items typically include used office equipment, vehicles, and materials from government operations. Most auctions are open to the public and run for 7-10 days. Payment and pickup details vary by seller. Unlike federal auctions, state and local sales often don't require a buyer's account, though registration is usually needed to bid.
Office furniture, computers, and IT equipment dominate Atlanta-area auctions. Heavy equipment and machinery are plentiful near military bases and in industrial regions. Vehicles and fleet equipment appear regularly across all jurisdictions. Construction materials and tools show up frequently from state DOT and county maintenance programs. Specialized items like laboratory equipment and industrial machinery appear periodically from federal facilities and state agencies.
