Online Auction Services

The County of Solano (County), through the Department of Treasurer-Tax Collector–County Clerk, conducts tax sales of eligible tax-defaulted properties in accordance with applicable California laws and regulations. These sales may include residential, commercial, vacant land, and other real properties determined eligible for sale by the County. The County is seeking proposals from qualified and experienced auction service providers to conduct online public auctions and provide related services on an as-needed basis. The selected contractor will support the County in administering an efficient, transparent, secure, and accessible auction process that promotes public participation, facilitates competitive bidding, and supports compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Services may include auction platform hosting and administration, property listing and marketing, bidder registration and qualification, bidder communications, auction monitoring, bid tracking, reporting, and post-auction administrative support. The contractor will coordinate with the County throughout the auction process and perform services in accordance with County direction, applicable laws and regulations, and the terms of the resulting agreement. The County anticipates engaging the selected contractor on an as-needed basis, depending on the availability of eligible properties and the County's operational requirements. The County does not guarantee a minimum number of auctions, properties, or volume of services during the contract term. The County intends to select a contractor with demonstrated experience conducting online real property auctions, the technological capabilities to support secure and reliable transactions, and the resources necessary to provide accurate reporting, responsive customer service, and professional auction administration.
