Purchasing

The Thruway Authority is using a new platform for electronic bidding. Please see the announcement letter issued on July 2, 2026 .

For all competitive bids issued on or after July 17, 2026, please refer to the Bid Express link below for updates, results and awards. 

For all competitive bids issued prior to July 17, 2026, please refer to the Thruway Purchasing Bid Schedule System below for updates, results and tentative awards.

In addition to procuring goods and services, the Thruway Authority routinely disposes of surplus materials and equipment in a public auction.

Surplus Property Auction

All items offered for sale in auction have been determined by the New York State Thruway Authority (Authority) to be surplus to its needs. Most of the vehicles and equipment are non-operational or have exceeded their useful life and continued repairs to these items are not in the best interest of the Authority. Substantive deficiencies known to the Authority are so noted. However, the absence of such information does not mean that deficiencies do not exist nor does it change the terms of the sale which are "as is, where is", with no guarantee or warranty either express or implied.

Auctions are conducted by the Office of General Services (OGS) at various locations and dates throughout New York State. For additional information visit the OGS website at: https://ogs.ny.gov/public-auctions.
