`gsa_search_auctions`

Pack: gsa-auctions · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/gsa-auctions/mcp

Search current US federal government surplus auctions from GSA Auctions (api.data.gov). GSA Auctions sells government surplus to the public — vehicles, machinery, aircraft, vessels, industrial equipment, electronics, etc. Filter active lots by property state (2-letter, e.g. “TX”), a free-text keyword matched against the item name (e.g. “truck”, “forklift”, “boat”), and/or auction status. Returns each lot with sale/lot number, item name, property location, sale location, start/end dates, status, high bid, reserve, number of bidders, item and image URLs. NOTE: the upstream API has no server-side category filter — use the keyword argument to narrow by item type.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`state`	string	no	Filter by 2-letter property state code (e.g. “TX”, “CA”). Matches PropertyState.
`keyword`	string	no	Free-text keyword matched (case-insensitive) against the item name — use for category/type (e.g. “truck”, “forklift”, “aircraft”, “boat”, “generator”).
`status`	string	no	Filter by AuctionStatus (case-insensitive substring, e.g. “Active”, “Open”). Omit to include all statuses.
`limit`	number,string	no	Max lots to return (1-200). Default 25.
