Asset highlights in the July 17 non-rolling stock auction included storage containers, equipment parts, ammo cans, filing cabinets, tools, consumer electronics and more.

Ritchie Bros. began selling hundreds of non-rolling stock items for the U.S. Department of Defense through its online marketplace GovPlanet.com. For the past three and a half years the U.S. DoD has been selling its surplus rolling stock assets — Humvees, utility trailers, cargo trucks, etc. — through the GovPlanet marketplace. Late last year, Ritchie Bros. signed an additional contract to now sell all U.S. DoD non-rolling stock assets through GovPlanet as well. The first non-rolling stock auction was held July 17, 2018.

Ritchie Bros. has scheduled U.S. DoD auctions through GovPlanet each week, with non-rolling stock assets being sold on Tuesdays and rolling stock assets sold on Wednesdays.

“We are now the one-stop-shop for all surplus assets from the U.S. Department of Defense,” said Conner Humphrey, vice president, GovPlanet. “The non-rolling stock assets include everything from shop tools, warehouse and consumer goods, office furniture and so much more. All of it will be sold exclusively through our GovPlanet marketplace — it's free to register and very easy to use. I encourage interested bidders to go online and check out the inventory today — you never know what you might find.”
