NIGP 99803 Aircraft and Aviation Equipment and Parts, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items (Item) covers the disposition and auction of surplus government-owned aircraft, aviation assets, vehicles, and equipment.

Recent solicitations show activity spanning law enforcement aircraft acquisitions paired with equipment integration, municipal fleet and equipment disposition through live and online auction services, and firearm trade-ins processed as part of equipment replacement cycles. The issuing bodies include state law enforcement agencies, city logistics and asset management departments, and municipal police departments. Work being solicited includes auction management and conduct for surplus vehicles and equipment (with commission-based compensation), public safety aircraft procurement with mission equipment and integration, and trade or credit transactions for confiscated property exchanges.
