New showroom for federal surplus goods
PWGSC’s new Crown Assets Distribution warehouse in the Greater Toronto Area.
PWGSC’s Crown Assets Distribution (CAD) recently opened a new distribution centre in Downsview Park, in the Greater Toronto Area, to better support its 100 client departments and agencies.
With CAD’s new warehouse, client departments can ship their surplus and seized goods in bulk, allowing them to free-up much needed space. In the past, surplus items were sold from the client’s location, which was inefficient and created space and security constraints.
Crown Assets Distribution will be opening a new warehouse in the lower BC mainland early this year to support the increased disposal volumes associated with the 2010 Olympics. CAD Pacific currently shares a warehouse with the BC Government but this federal provincial partnership ends March 31, 2010.
Now, items are received, sorted, inspected, researched, photographed and listed on GCSurplus, CAD’s new on-line closed bidding system.
Since the opening of the warehouse on April 1st, the volume of surplus federal assets received by client departments has dramatically increased.
“More Canadians have access to federal surplus assets, client departments enjoy better service and business volumes are increased; it’s a win-win-win situation,” explains Claud Bennett, the CAD Regional Manager for Ontario.
Federal departments and agencies consult CAD to dispose of everything from computers, office equipment, vehicles as well as military equipment such as ships and planes. In the 2007-08 fiscal year, over $40 million worth of surplus goods was sold.

There are eight Crown Assets Distribution Centres in Canada. Your local representative can answer questions about items for sale and can help you to view, bid on and buy federal government surplus items on GCSurplus:
