About NIGP 99840
NIGP 99840 Item, Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items, encompasses the liquidation of surplus commodities and confiscated or unused assets held by state and local government agencies. Recent activity under this code shows state and local governments disposing of both tangible goods and equipment through competitive bidding — from granular fertilizer stockpiles to confiscated firearms — with emphasis on maximizing recovery value and offloading storage and handling costs to the winning bidder. The work involves acquiring materials on an as-is, where-is basis, managing inventory logistics, and executing title transfer or credit-swap transactions. Issuing bodies include county departments, city police and public works agencies, and water resource authorities, each disposing of surplus held for operational or enforcement reasons rather than revenue generation.
Recent solicitations concentrate in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted BL125-26 on September 9, 2026, seeking sealed bids for the sale of approximately 250 tons of granular fertilizer (5-28-0 composition) per year on a multi-year contract running through December 31, 2030, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for September 17, 2026 and bids due October 6, 2026; the County requires the winning bidder to supply all labor, equipment, and transportation for removal and bagging, with payment by ACH monthly and minimum insurance of $2 million general aggregate liability. Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department posted RFB No. 27-0010 on September 16, 2026, offering 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers in exchange for Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR 11" rifles with accessories, sealed bids due October 14, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET; the successful bidder must hold a current Federal Firearm License, assume all transfer documentation and permitting responsibility, and complete the transaction within ten calendar days of award, with firearm inspections available September 30, 2026 by appointment.
