Vehicle and Heavy Equipment Auctions
The Delaware Surplus Services team within Government Support Services is responsible for all Federal and State surplus property programs for the State of Delaware. This program is self-sufficient and thereby does not receive any State or Federal dollars.
Our goal is to simplify all of our services for our customers: declaring excess property, transferring excess property to another agency or fire company, or removal of excess property. We want to work with you to make sure your property needs are met.
Delaware Surplus Services sells vehicles, heavy equipment and miscellaneous items on line all year long. The State of Delaware reserves the right to reject any and all bids. The Auctions are typically held at one of the following locations:
- Delaware Surplus Services, 5408 DuPont Parkway, Smyrna, DE 19977 – Get Directions
- Department of Transportation Complex, 800 Bay Road, Dover, DE – Get Directions
- Delaware State Police Headquarters, 1441 N. DuPont Highway, Dover, DE – Get Directions
