Frequently Asked Questions
- Where can I find government surplus catering auctions in California?

- Are government catering auctions in California open to the public?

- How do I bid on surplus catering in California?

- Can I filter California catering auctions by distance from my ZIP code?
- Yes. Most surplus is collected in person, so distance from you usually matters more than the state a lot sits in. In the GovAuctions feed you can enter your ZIP and set a radius of 25, 50, 100, or 200 miles, and the filter applies across every indexed platform at once rather than one marketplace at a time. Results sort by pickup distance, so a radius search also catches catering just over the California state line that browsing by state alone would hide.
