New Jersey hosts several federal installations that regularly auction off surplus equipment and inventory. Fort Dix (now Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst) and Newark's federal facilities generate steady streams of surplus items through GSA and DLA auctions. Common categories in New Jersey auctions include vehicles, office equipment, military surplus, and construction materials, reflecting both federal agency needs and the state's mixed industrial and administrative infrastructure.
Federal auctions in New Jersey commonly feature vehicles (cars, trucks, heavy equipment), office furniture and supplies, computer equipment, and industrial machinery. Military installations contribute surplus weapons, tools, and tactical gear through DLA auctions. Seized property auctions from the IRS and US Marshals often include real estate, business equipment, and personal property. The mix varies by auction, so checking regularly helps you find specific categories you're interested in.
Beyond federal auctions, New Jersey municipalities and county governments use platforms like Municibid and PublicSurplus to sell surplus items, vehicles, and equipment. These local auctions operate separately from federal sales but follow similar bidding processes. State agencies also sell surplus through these platforms, covering office equipment. Requirements and bidding rules may differ slightly from federal auctions, so read each listing's terms before placing bids.
