Vermont hosts several federal facilities that regularly auction off surplus equipment and property, making the state a solid source for government auction deals. Fort Drum, located just across the border in New York, frequently auctions military surplus that affects regional bidding, while the Vermont National Guard and various federal agencies based in the state conduct their own sales. Popular categories in Vermont auctions include heavy equipment, vehicles, tools, and office furniture, with seasonal variation depending on fiscal year budget cycles and facility clearances.
Vermont's federal auction activity comes primarily from the Vermont National Guard, the General Services Administration (GSA), the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and the IRS. The GSA handles excess federal property from various government offices throughout the state, while the DLA auctions military equipment and supplies. Additionally, Fort Drum in nearby New York significantly impacts Vermont's auction market since many New England bidders participate in those sales.
Vermont cities and towns use platforms like PublicSurplus and Municibid to sell off surplus equipment and property. These auctions typically include items from municipal departments like public works, fire, police, and school systems. Registration is free on most platforms, and bidding works similarly to federal auctions, though terms and buyer fees vary by municipality. The Vermont League of Cities and Towns coordinates some surplus sales, making it worth checking both individual town websites and aggregator sites.
Vermont auctions frequently feature vehicles (especially from law enforcement and highway departments), heavy equipment and machinery, tools, office furniture, and IT equipment. Winter maintenance equipment like salt spreaders and snow plows appear seasonally from public works departments. Agricultural equipment surfaces occasionally, particularly from state facilities. Military surplus from Guard facilities includes anything from field gear to vehicles and mechanical parts.
