The state's concentration of university research centers and healthcare facilities means consistent inventory of laboratory instruments, diagnostic equipment, and scientific apparatus. Bidders can access these items through GSA Auctions, GovDeals, GovPlanet, and PublicSurplus, which feature both federal and state-level surplus listings.
