Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of General Services (DGS) announced today an upcoming online auction giving the public an opportunity to bid on a wide range of surplus Commonwealth equipment — including off-road equipment, dump trucks, and more.
The public auction will open on June 23 and run through July 7, offering Pennsylvanians a chance to purchase high-quality, previously state-owned equipment used by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PENNDOT).
“From municipal fleets to individual buyers, this is a cost-effective way to access reliable heavy equipment that still has plenty of life left,” said DGS Secretary Reggie McNeil. “We’re always excited to make surplus property available in a way that supports sustainability, transparency, and ultimately provides added taxpayer value.”
The auction will be conducted entirely online through GovPlanet, where the full inventory will be posted ahead of the sale. Interested buyers must first register with GovPlanet before being able to browse, inspect (by appointment), and place bids through the secure auction platform.
