    Welcome to
    Pennsylvania's Surplus Property Programs!

    State Surplus Property Program (other than vehicles) - Our State Surplus Property Program offers state-owned equipment and supplies for sale to the general public, either through our Distribution Center in Harrisburg, at special sales held periodically throughout the state, our online auctions with Asset Auctions, or through eBay.  We also offer bid sales for municipalities on heavy equipment and annual contract bids for vendors on recyclable materials.

    Federal Surplus Property Program  - Our Federal Surplus Property Program is available to nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations that operate an educational or health program, as well as to governmental agencies and political subdivisions.  Federally-owned equipment and supplies are donated to eligible organizations.  Participants incur a service charge that covers the administrative costs of the program.

    Fixed Price Sales Vehicles Program - Our Fixed Price Sales Vehicles Program is available to any organization qualified to receive Federal Surplus Property Program.  Our Program is authorized to purchase fleet vehicles from the General Services Administration before they reach public auction, and pass the savings along to your organization.

    Law Enforcement 1033 Excess Property ProgramOur Excess Property Program is restricted to Law Enforcement Agencies only.  Such agencies, possessing the powers of arrest and apprehension, can acquire a vast array of line-of-duty items.  The federally-owned equipment is donated to the Law Enforcement Agency, with a minimal service charge to cover the administrative costs of the program.

    Law Enforcement 1122 New Property Program - Our New Property Program is, most accurately, a Federal Cooperative Purchasing Program. It is restricted to Law Enforcement Agencies, and those Emergency Services using Federal Fire Grant monies to acquire new equipment and supplies. Such agencies are able to purchase these materials using select federal contracts.  These contracts offer law enforcement property suitable for counter drug and counter terrorism use.
     
    Warehouse and Distribution Division - It is the responsibility of the Department of General Services, through the Bureau of Supplies and Surplus Operations, to establish and maintain the procedures for the disbursement of all materials located within the Warehouse and Distribution Division.
