The auction will run around the clock until 6 p.m. Sunday, July 20. Items up for bid include cars, trucks, boats, office and medical equipment and furniture no longer needed by state and federal agencies.

Potential buyers can get a closer look at the goods in person at the Surplus Property Division’s Montgomery Distribution Center, 4590 Mobile Highway.

ADECA holds online auctions like this several times each year, but surplus items are available year-round to state agencies, local governments and qualified nonprofits. All items are sold as is with no guarantees and sales are final once the property is picked up and removed.

In addition to managing surplus property, ADECA oversees grant programs supporting law enforcement, victim services, economic development, energy conservation, water resources, broadband expansion and recreation.
