NIGP 99805: Agriculture Equipment and Commodities, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99805 Agriculture Equipment and Commodities, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items is an Item code under which state and local governments procure auctioneering and disposition services for surplus assets, including vehicles, construction and industrial equipment, confiscated firearms, and miscellaneous property. The City of Tampa is managing public auction services for surplus vehicles and equipment on a commission basis, while Columbus Consolidated Government and Harris County are selling or trading confiscated weapons and less-lethal equipment; Bastrop County and University of Wisconsin-Madison are purchasing used agricultural and industrial equipment. Issuing bodies include city logistics departments, county sheriffs' offices, and state university systems. The work spans asset liquidation through live and online auction platforms, trade or swap valuations for law enforcement equipment, and direct procurement of specialized farm and fleet machinery. Contracts operate on commission models with tiered pricing, trade-credit arrangements, or fixed purchase terms, often with multiple-year renewal options and performance requirements including payment reconciliation, electronic reporting, and accessibility compliance.
