GovDealsGD · Government surplus · auctionsTrack GovDeals government surplus — one live feed.
GovDeals is the surplus-disposal auction platform for cities, counties, school districts, and state agencies across the US. Inventory is whatever a public-sector entity is replacing or retiring — pickup trucks, IT hardware, office furniture, scrap metal, road equipment, marine assets. BStalker tracks up to 15,000 GovDeals listings per scan and surfaces what's closing soon in one feed.
GovDeals is one of 9 liquidation marketplaces BStalker pulls into a single feed: Liquidation.com, B-Stock, DirectLiquidation, 888 Lots, Via Trading, BlueLots, GovDeals, Musick, and QuickBidz. BStalker is an independent tool — it never asks for a GovDeals login or password, never places a bid for you, and is not affiliated with, operated by, or endorsed by GovDeals or any marketplace it covers. You click through and bid or buy on GovDeals yourself.
$/u = the lot's total cost divided by the unit count the source publishes.

What does GovDeals sell?
Vehicles dominate by lot count — police-fleet sedans, work trucks, tow trucks, school buses. IT assets (Cisco gear, Dell workstations, projectors) are the next-largest cluster. Heavy equipment (mowers, generators, snowplows) shows up regularly from public works. Condition is exactly what the agency is retiring — usually well-documented with photos and a maintenance log; sometimes blind 'as-is, where-is.'
Who buys from GovDeals?
Used-car dealers, fleet managers, IT-asset refurbishers, and small contractors are the largest buyer groups. A growing slice is reselling on Marketplace and Facebook to retail buyers who want a city-titled vehicle for under blue book.
What should you know before you bid or buy?
Every GovDeals lot is buyer-removal: you arrange your own shipping or pickup within the agency's removal window (usually 7-14 days post-auction). Out-of-state buyers should price freight before bidding — agency staff don't help arrange transport. Some lots have fee-on-top regional taxes layered onto the bid.
