Louisiana hosts several major federal installations that regularly auction surplus equipment and property, including Fort Polk (now Fort Novosel) and Naval Station Guantanamo Bay support operations. Government agencies like the GSA, DLA, and IRS conduct ongoing auctions across the state through platforms such as GovDeals, GovPlanet, and PublicSurplus. Buyers in Louisiana typically find heavy equipment, vehicles, office furniture, and industrial machinery available at significantly below retail prices. State and local government auctions also occur regularly through Municibid and other vendors.
The General Services Administration (GSA), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and U.S. Marshals Service all conduct surplus auctions in Louisiana. The GSA handles federal property from various agencies, the DLA auctions military equipment and supplies, the IRS sells seized assets, and U.S. Marshals auctions forfeited property. Each agency posts auctions on different platforms, which is why an aggregator like BidProwl helps you find all available listings in one place.
Louisiana auctions feature heavy equipment like excavators and loaders from construction and military sources, vehicles including trucks and industrial machinery, office equipment and furniture, and specialized equipment related to port operations and industrial facilities. The categories vary by agency and location within the state, so checking regularly helps you find specific items you need.
First, create accounts on the platforms where auctions are listed, such as GovDeals, GovPlanet, PublicSurplus, and Municibid. Review item descriptions and condition reports carefully, as most auctions are as-is sales. Place your bid before the auction closes, and if you win, follow the payment and pickup instructions provided by each platform. Some auctions require registration fees or deposits, so read the terms for each listing.
