GSA Auction and Marshalling Services Program

GSA Federal Acquisition Service established a Master IDIQ for auction and marshalling support services for government-owned or leased vehicles, with ordering closed as of September 30, 2019. This vehicle is no longer active for new task-order issuance.

The IDIQ awarded 132 task orders over its lifecycle, generating a combined potential value of $79.3 million with $77.8 million obligated (98% spend-down). Activity peaked in 2017 with 87 orders, then declined sharply—only 15 orders awarded in 2020, the final year of activity. The most recent task order was issued July 8, 2020. All task orders were awarded without set-aside.

Competition is fragmented across 41 distinct primes. By order count, the top performers are Auction Exchange Inc. (8 orders, $1.9 million), The Pasha Group (7 orders, $1.8 million), and Dealer's Auto Action of Idaho, L.L.C. (6 orders, $2.3 million), collectively holding 23 percent of awarded orders. By potential value, concentration is tighter: Bel Air Auto Auction Inc. (4 orders, $10.1 million), Delcee Inc. (4 orders, $6.5 million), and Fleet Lease Exchange Co., Inc. (4 orders, $5.5 million) account for 38 percent of combined potential value. Houston Auto Auction, Inc. appears in both rankings (5 orders, $4.2 million). The long tail of small-volume vendors extends across two dozen smaller primes.

Demand is concentrated within GSA. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service placed 86 orders worth $62.4 million (79% of potential value), and the Fleet Management Division placed an additional 34 orders worth $16.5 million. The remaining 12 orders totaling approximately $800 thousand funded regional assisted acquisition services. No other federal agencies placed orders.

Task-order values range from under $1 thousand to $5.7 million, with most falling between $300 thousand and $1.3 million. Recent orders from January 2020 show a mix of $1.1 million to $5.7 million ceilings. Pricing was typically fixed-price or fixed-price-with-economic-price-adjustment, with performance periods generally set through September 2018 or December 2020.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) seeks contractors who are interested in providing auction and/or marshalling support services for Government owned or leased vehicles.
