Military surplus from US Armed Forces is sold through two main channels. DLA Disposition Services (formerly DRMO) handles all DoD property that's been cycled out of active use, with most of the inventory going to GovPlanet for online auction. Specialty items, demilitarized vehicles like HMMWVs and MRAPs, and large lots of gear move through GSA Auctions when DLA contracts overflow. Common categories include light and heavy tactical vehicles, generators, communications equipment, hand tools, MRE storage gear, and uniforms. Some lots have demilitarization restrictions, meaning specific parts must be destroyed or removed before resale.
Yes, demilitarized HMMWVs are sold to the public through GovPlanet. They're titled as off-road vehicles in most states, so check your state's rules on registering them for road use. MRAPs and similar armored vehicles are sold occasionally, also titled off-road. Tracked vehicles like tanks are demilled and sold as static or parts-only.
Generators, light and medium tactical trucks, communications gear, hand tools, hydraulic equipment, and uniforms. DLA cycles inventory in large lots, so a single auction might include hundreds of units of one item. Smaller individual lots are common on GovPlanet for HMMWVs, trailers, and shop equipment.
Condition varies. DLA grades lots from operable to scrap. Working condition is documented in lot descriptions. Demilitarized items have specific parts removed (firing pins on weapons, classified components on radios) but the rest of the equipment is typically intact and functional.
Demilitarization is the process of rendering an item non-functional for its original military purpose before resale. For weapons it means destroying firing pins or barrels. For sensitive electronics it means removing classified circuit boards. For vehicles it usually means removing weapons mounts or armor. The lot description always says whether an item is demilled and to what extent.
