Professional Auction Services

The Steuben County government authority in Bath, New York, is seeking professional technical expertise from an auctioneering firm to conduct its annual sale of surplus and obsolete equipment. The agency needs to solve the problem of efficiently organizing, marketing, and conducting the sale of county surplus to optimize financial returns. The selected firm must take responsibility for all components of conducting a successful auction sale, including providing a complete and accurate accounting of the transaction. The scope of work requires the firm to provide adequate and knowledgeable staff to prepare the surplus items for sale directly at the county's auction site. While staff must prepare items at the county site, the agency specifies that the overall performance of the auction services will be conducted offsite. Bidders must be organizations based onshore within the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget and financial structure of the agreement. Interested bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 16, 2026.
