DPA Auctions announced a strategic partnership with the Land Improvement Contractors of America (National LICA), the national trade association representing contractors in excavating, grading, drainage and land improvement across the United States.

The partnership makes DPA an official member benefit provider for LICA contractors nationwide and marks a major expansion of DPA's construction equipment marketplace.

Through the program, LICA members receive complimentary equipment appraisals, reduced seller fees and access to a dedicated member portal for appraisals, listings and support. Equipment sells right from the contractor's own yard — DPA handles the marketing, title work and payment processing, and the member collects the check without hauling a single machine to a sale site.

"National LICA is committed to delivering partnerships that provide meaningful value to our members and help them build stronger businesses," said Dennis Mikula Jr., chief executive officer, National LICA. "DPA Auctions brings deep industry expertise, transparent equipment valuations and a proven ability to help contractors maximize the value of their assets. We're proud to partner with an organization that shares our commitment to integrity, exceptional service and advancing the land improvement industry."

"Land improvement contractors turn equipment over constantly — a machine either earns its keep or it moves on," said Justin Scheel, chief marketing officer of DPA Auctions. "Partnering with National LICA puts DPA in front of a nationwide community of contractors who live and breathe this equipment. For more than five decades we've helped equipment owners sell with confidence, and we're proud to bring that same straightforward service to LICA members everywhere they work."
