DES MOINES — The State of Iowa is joining more than 3,100 government agencies nationwide and 13 other municipalities and public agencies in contracting with GovDeals' online auction solutions.
GovDeals (www.govdeals.com) is an online auction service for city, county and state governments or agencies. Specifically, GovDeals is designed to enable public entities and their agencies the ability to sell surplus and confiscated vehicles, assets, property and equipment over the Internet.
