The City of Bentonville, AR Resumes Partnership with GovDeals to Sell Surplus Properties
BENTONVILLE, AR., September 14, 2025 – The City of Bentonville, AR is once again partnering with GovDeals, the leading online marketplace for government agencies, to resume conducting virtual auctions for the City’s surplus assets. The return to online auctions addresses the limitations of traditional newspaper advertising, offering broader reach and increased efficiency in connecting with potential buyers globally.
“We are maximizing our GovDeals listings because that is where we find buyers,” said City of Bentonville Purchasing and Compliance Manager Kelsi Frederick. “Online auctions provide more opportunities to move inventory and secure funds for local initiatives. This decision reflects our commitment to embracing modern, efficient methods of commerce.”
Since partnering with GovDeals since 2021, the City of Bentonville has successfully generated over $429,000.00 in sales, demonstrating the effectiveness of online auctions in maximizing revenue from surplus assets. Last year alone, auctioning surplus online netted the city over $142,000.00, underscoring the financial benefits of this partnership.
All forthcoming auctions can be found directly on GovDeals. In order to bid on items from the City of Bentonville or any asset on GovDeals, potential buyers must first create an account and complete the free and easy registration form.
