The Central New York Regional Transportation Authority (Centro) auctions vehicles / materials / equipment via Public Surplus. Auction opportunities are listed on the Public Surplus website.
When vehicles/materials/equipment have reached the end of their defined useful life, The Central New York Regional Transportation Authority will auction off the surplus equipment according to the following FTA Rules and Regulations:
Procedures: Although neither FTA nor the Office of Federal Procurement Policy have established a formal definition of “reverse auction” or formal procedures for reverse auctions for Federal Government or Federal assistance purposes, the U.S. Comptroller General has approved the following procedures for reverse auctions of less than $100,000:
"Provided the grantee and its third party contractor comply with FTA's Third Party Contracting requirements, the grantee may use a third party contractor to conduct the auctions. Because the DOT Common Grant Rules at 49 C.F.R. § 18.32(d)(5) and 49 C.F.R. § 19.34(f)(6) direct the grantee to sell that property for the highest return, FTA suggests that the auction contract include a requirement to place an advertisement in the local paper in advance of the sale and/or put a notice on the agency’s internet page saying that on “x” date the vehicles are being auctioned on behalf of the grantee and telling interested people how to contact the auctioneer.” (http://www.fta.dot.gov/13057_6122.html)
