IronPlanet will showcase U.S. military Humvees at its five day Kissimmee, Florida, unreserved public auction. GovPlanet, IronPlanet's online marketplace for used government surplus, is auctioning three High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs), or Humvees, with the proceeds going to benefit the Fisher House Foundation.

Already one of the industry's most anticipated events of 2016, IronPlanet's Cat Auction Services annual Florida auction will be the largest in its history. The Humvees will be auctioned one on each day from Tuesday February 9 through Thursday February 11, at approximately noon ET. The Humvees are available online to preview now and also on site:

The Foundation also manages a grant program that supports other military charities and scholarship funds for military children, spouses and children of fallen and disabled veterans.

“The Humvees continue to draw huge interest to GovPlanet, and we are excited to support such a terrific organization by raising money for the more than 25,000 service men and women this organization serves annually,” said Jeffrey L.
