IronPlanet has unveiled an online marketplace for users to buy and sell surplus Defense Department assets.
The first online auction of surplus trucks, trailers, generators, wheel loaders, cranes, crawler tractors and other government equipment on the GovPlanet marketplace is scheduled for Nov. 19, IronPlanet said Wednesday.
“GovPlanet is a compelling new platform for fast and efficient disposal of government surplus equipment that we believe will transform the way assets have traditionally been sold in this market,” said Gregory Owens, chairman and CEO of IronPlanet.
The auctioned items will incorporate an inspection report through IronPlanet’s IronClad Assurance buyer protection program.
The Defense Logistics Agency awarded IronPlanet a contract in July to sell rolling government surplus assets.
