DRMS - Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service
The place to obtain original US Government surplus property

Originally established in 1972 to consolidate the different military services' disposal operations, the Defense Property Disposal Service (DPDS) was renamed the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS) in 1985. DRMS is part of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), based in Fort Belvoir, Va.

DRMS disposes of excess property received from military services. The inventory changes daily and includes thousands of items: from air conditioners to vehicles, clothing to computers, and much more.

Property is first offered for reutilization within the Department of Defense (DoD), transfer to other federal agencies, or donation to state and local governments and other qualified organizations.

DRMS manages the DoD surplus property sales program. Excess property that is not reutilized, transferred or donated may be sold to the public as surplus.

The DRMS World Sales Office has a commercial venture partnership with Government Liquidation to purchase and re-sell all non-demil-required usable property in the United States, Guam, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Sales include high-value property, such as aircraft parts, machine tools, hardware, electronics, material handling equipment, and vehicles. DRMS overseas locations conduct zone sales for all non-demil required usable property. These sales are either held through sealed bid, auction, or retail, fixed price sales, aimed at customers interested in buying inexpensive items for personal use.

DRMS also offers a sales service for those DoD customers who have direct sales authority (such as under the Exchange Sale Program). For a modest percentage of the proceeds, DRMS will perform all merchandizing, advertising and contracting functions, providing the DoD military service peace of mind that all laws and regulations are followed.

DRMS displays property available for reutilization, transfer and donation on the Internet. The Web site offers detailed information, including the property's condition and location. For sales information, sales schedules, and past bid sales results, go to the Government Liquidation Web site, http://www.govliquidation.com.

Certain property is demilitarized (i.e., rendered useless for its originally intended purpose). Surplus property with inherent military characteristics must undergo "demil." Offensive and defensive weapons and associated material are demilitarized prior to sale or as a condition of sale.

DRMS has a worldwide presence within DoD, with disposal specialists in 14 foreign countries, two U.S. territories (Guam and Puerto Rico) and 39 states. The total DRMS work force numbers approximately 1,400 people. Of those, approximately 332 work at its Battle Creek, Mich., headquarters.
