Government surplus auction software built for compliance and public trust.
Police departments, municipalities, and agencies dispose of vehicles, equipment, seized property, and surplus assets under real scrutiny. Unovance Global gives you a transparent, fully auditable auction platform you own — not a marketplace you rent.
Disposing of public property is not like selling private inventory. Every sale has to defend itself: that the item reached fair market value, that bidding was open and competitive, and that proceeds were returned to the right fund. Unovance is built so that the record is the proof — an immutable audit trail captures who bid, what they paid, and how each lot was awarded.
From police seizures and impounded vehicles to municipal fleet retirements and department surplus, the platform supports the formats that matter: sealed-bid tenders for high-value or regulated assets and timed online auctions for routine disposition. Public bid histories, reserve controls, and eligibility rules keep the process defensible against councils, auditors, and open-records requests alike.
Most importantly, the auction site is yours. Your agency's brand, your bidder relationships, your data — white-label and private-label by design, so you build a local buyer base over time instead of handing it to a marketplace vendor every time you sell.
Disposition that holds up under scrutiny.
Immutable audit trail
Every bid, price change, registration, and award is timestamped and logged — the documented chain of custody auditors, councils, and FOIA requests demand.
Public transparency by default
Open registration, published reserves where required, and visible bid histories show citizens that surplus property was disposed of fairly and at fair market value.
Compliant disposition workflows
Map lots to agencies, departments, and funds, enforce minimum bids and reserves, and route proceeds back to the right budget line for clean reconciliation.
Sealed-bid and timed formats
Run sealed-bid tenders for high-value assets and timed online auctions for routine surplus — both with the integrity controls procurement rules require.
Frequently asked questions
How does the software support public-records and audit requirements?+
Every action is captured in an immutable, timestamped log — bids, registrations, reserve changes, and final awards. When a council, inspector general, or FOIA request asks how an item was sold and for how much, you produce a complete record in minutes instead of reconstructing it from emails and spreadsheets.
Which auction formats fit government surplus disposition?+
Sealed-bid tenders suit vehicles, heavy equipment, and high-value assets where procurement rules require closed competitive bidding. Timed online auctions clear routine surplus — office furniture, electronics, seized goods — efficiently. Both run on the same platform alongside the other formats Unovance supports.
Can we restrict bidders or enforce eligibility rules?+
Yes. You control registration approval, can require identity or tax verification, exclude employees from bidding on their own agency's property, and gate sensitive lots — all while keeping the audit trail of who was approved and why.
Do we own the platform and the bidder data?+
Yes. Unovance is white-label and private-label: the auction site carries your agency's branding, and you own the bidder relationships and data outright. You are not renting a slice of a third-party marketplace or surrendering your buyer list to a vendor.
