Bar None Auction Awarded California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Contract for Statewide Surplus Equipment and Vehicle Sales
Sacramento, CA — Bar None Auction, a leading industrial and heavy equipment auction company headquartered in Sacramento, has been awarded the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) contract to manage the statewide sale of surplus road maintenance and fleet equipment.
October 17, 2025 - Updated on October 17, 2025
With thousands of new fleet vehicles and pieces of equipment purchased by the State each year, the older fleet must be sold — and Bar None Auction will manage that process through its open and competitive public auctions that return maximum value to California taxpayers.
The auctions will feature a wide variety of fleet and maintenance assets, including:
- Motor graders
- Wheel loaders
- Street sweepers
- Work trucks and dump trucks
- Utility trucks and passenger vehicles
- Trailers and other support equipment
All equipment will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder, without minimums or reserves, from Bar None Auction’s permanent facilities in Sacramento, CA and Fontana, CA, ensuring convenient statewide access for both buyers and sellers.
“We’re honored to have been selected by Caltrans to manage this important statewide contract,” said Joshua Seidel, President of Bar None Auction. “Our team is committed to delivering a professional, open, and competitive auction experience that serves both the State of California and the buying public. This partnership underscores Bar None Auction’s reputation for integrity, efficiency, and proven results as the West Coast’s leading industrial auction company.”
Bar None Auction sells thousands of items every month on behalf of government agencies, utility companies, contractors, and private fleet operators. The company will sell approximately 65,000 items at auction this year from its West Coast locations, including Sacramento, Fontana, Fresno, and Woodburn, Oregon.
