Dove Bid Surplus Sales

Go-Dove (GoIndustry DoveBid) was a commercial online auction marketplace for surplus business and industrial assets, operated by Liquidity Services, Inc. As of 2026, the brand has been retired: Liquidity Services has consolidated GoIndustry DoveBid into its unified AllSurplus marketplace at allsurplus.com, and the go-dove.com domain now serves the AllSurplus application rather than a standalone Go-Dove site. It is a private commercial platform, not a U.S. Government system.

What it is

GoIndustry DoveBid auctioned surplus and used business/industrial equipment — machinery, lab and pharmaceutical equipment, aviation ground support equipment, and similar assets — from a large pool of corporate sellers to professional buyers worldwide. The business (asset management, industrial auctions, and appraisal services dating to 1999) continues to operate, but under the AllSurplus brand rather than as a separately branded Go-Dove marketplace.

Who operates it

Liquidity Services, Inc., a publicly traded (NASDAQ: LQDT) e-commerce company that operates a portfolio of surplus-asset marketplaces, including AllSurplus, GovDeals, and Liquidation.com. Liquidity Services acquired GoIndustry DoveBid in 2012 and has since folded it into AllSurplus as part of a platform-consolidation effort.

Access

AllSurplus (the successor to Go-Dove) is a free-to-register commercial marketplace: buyers create an account to bid, with no cost to register. Users who previously held a GoIndustry DoveBid / Go-Dove login can sign in to AllSurplus with the same credentials — account settings and payment information carried over in the migration. This is not a CAC- or .mil-gated system; it is open to the public with account registration.

How logisticians use it

Government and commercial logisticians disposing of or acquiring surplus industrial equipment may encounter AllSurplus (formerly Go-Dove) listings as one of several commercial secondary markets in Liquidity Services' network. It is a general commercial surplus channel rather than a DoD-specific disposition system.

Related systems

For official U.S. Government/DoD surplus property disposition, the authoritative path runs through DLA Disposition Services (reutilization, transfer, donation, then public sale). Liquidity Services separately operates GovDeals, a marketplace specifically for government and educational surplus assets, which is a closer fit to federal/military disposal workflows than the former Go-Dove/current AllSurplus general commercial marketplace.
