South Carolina hosts several active federal facilities that regularly liquidate surplus equipment and property through government auctions. Joint Base Charleston and other Department of Defense installations generate consistent listings for industrial equipment, vehicles, and electronics. State agencies and municipalities also conduct their own surplus sales through platforms like GovDeals and PublicSurplus. Categories popular in SC auctions include construction equipment, office furniture, heavy machinery, and fleet vehicles from both federal and local government sources.
Joint Base Charleston is the largest federal installation in South Carolina and regularly auctions surplus equipment through GSA and DLA channels. Other federal agencies operating in the state include the IRS, US Marshals Service, and the VA, all of which liquidate property periodically. These agencies use platforms like GovDeals, GovPlanet, and direct GSA auctions to sell surplus items.
South Carolina state agencies, counties, and municipalities sell surplus property through PublicSurplus, Municibid, and GovDeals. Each entity manages its own liquidation schedule, so timing and inventory vary by location. Cities like Charleston and Columbia conduct regular auctions of office equipment, vehicles, and operational surplus from various departments.
Construction equipment and heavy machinery dominate listings from federal installations and public works departments. Vehicles, including sedans and trucks from government fleets, appear consistently across most platforms. Office furniture, computers, and IT equipment from state agencies are also regularly available, particularly in Charleston and Columbia where larger government operations are based.
