Public Surplus

Public Surplus was designed specifically for public agencies! Our system enables agencies to manage their entire surplus inventory, while at the same time maintaining compliance with State regulations and policies. The system's specific features allow for the reallocation or auctioning of surplus items without actual, or the appearance of: waste, favoritism or collusion. Public Surplus assures compliance with state and local regulations and policies! Many States require that public agencies maintain audit-records detailing the disposition of every surplus item. Public Surplus satisfies this requirement by maintaining complete records of all transaction on our system. The history of each item listed for auction will be saved for up to seven years. Agencies have the ability to easily obtain a printed record of this information. Public Surplus simplifies internal reallocation! Most States require that public agencies, whenever possible, reallocate surplus items internally. Public Surplus specifically designed its,'Reallocation Component,' to satisfy this requirement. We provide a way for agencies to instantly and automatically notify all appropriate departments within the organization of surplus items available for redistribution. Interested departments are then allowed to easily and electronically request these surplus items on a,"first come first served," basis. Public Surplus helps agencies attract larger numbers of community members to their surplus auctions. Our system increases the contact between an agency and the community it serves. By being accessible, 24 hours, 7 days a week, an agency's auctions via Public Surplus allow a larger percentage of the community to take advantage of the bargains surplus items provide.
