Online Auction Services

The Arizona Master Agreement CTR058925 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) for online auction services, primarily designed to facilitate the sale of surplus state property for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA). The contract enables these agencies to auction a wide range of assets, including vehicles, equipment, office furniture, and miscellaneous items through a comprehensive web-based platform. The online auction system provides extensive features such as flexible auction listing options, multiple bidding formats, administrative controls, automated notifications, and robust reporting capabilities. Agencies can sell surplus items with minimal effort, leveraging a platform that supports internal item transfers, targeted marketing, and comprehensive buyer management.

The master agreement is awarded to THE PUBLIC GROUP LLC (doing business as Public Surplus), with an initial contract period from February 9, 2022, to February 8, 2023, and potential extensions up to 48 months total. The contract covers the entire State of Arizona and operates as a master agreement with a non-tiered fee structure based on a percentage of actual sales. The gross annual sales for the Department of Transportation are approximately $2.5 million across 400 auctions, though no minimum sales volume is guaranteed. The contract includes a standard 4% auction selling fee for state agencies, which can be passed on to buyers, and offers flexibility for fee allocation between the agency and auction participants. Multiple contract amendments have extended the original term, with the most recent amendment extending the contract through February 8, 2027.
