City, county and state fleet vehicles across thousands of agencies — the ones that fit your buy box, with closing times, every morning.
GovDeals is an online marketplace where thousands of US state and local government agencies — cities, counties, school districts, utilities and police departments — sell surplus assets, including a steady flow of fleet cars, pickups, vans and SUVs. Listings typically include mileage, condition notes, photos, the agency's location, the current bid and the closing time.
Government fleet vehicles are often well-maintained and single-owner, and many sell without the competition of a wholesale lane. The problem for a dealer is spread: listings come from thousands of agencies across the country, each closing on its own schedule, and the site's search is built for the public rather than for a buyer with a margin target. A daily feed filtered to your distance, mileage and price turns that into a short list worth bidding on.
GovDeals is a public site with modest rate limits. The build paces requests, reads each category and region in slices, and tracks lots across days so you see new listings and changing bids rather than the same lots every morning.
Excel, CSV, JSON, a Google Sheet that refreshes on a schedule, a direct write into MySQL or Postgres, or a REST endpoint your own tools can query.
Often. Fleet vehicles usually have maintenance records and one owner, but condition varies widely — high idle hours on police units, for example. That is why each lot is checked against your rules and, where a VIN is listed, Carfax, AutoCheck and MMR.
Yes. GovDeals, GSA Auctions, Public Surplus and local police or municipal auctions can be read into one daily list with the same columns, so you see all government supply in one place.
No. It finds and checks lots and tells you what closes when. You place the bids.
