WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apr. 14, 2016–
Liquidity Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: LQDT), a global solution provider in
the reverse supply chain with the world’s largest marketplace for
business surplus, today announced the award of its new Scrap Contract
with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) of the U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD) to manage and sell scrap assets generated by DoD
installations throughout the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii,
Puerto Rico and Guam. The Company expects to commence operations under
the new Scrap Contract on September 1, 2016.
Under the terms of the new contract, Liquidity Services will acquire all
scrap property offered to it by the DLA and, in exchange, will pay a
revenue-sharing payment equal to 64.5% of the gross resale proceeds. The
Company will bear all of the costs for the sorting, merchandising and
sale of the property. The new contract has a 36-month base term with two
12-month extension options exercisable by the DLA. There is a 5-month
ramp-up period prior to the effective date of the new contract during
which time the Company will adjust its operations to conform to the any
new requirements under the contract.
Under the new scrap contract Liquidity Services will continue to serve
as the primary sales channel for DoD scrap property including base
materials and scrap metals such as ferrous and non-ferrous metals,
nickel alloy, rubber, paper and other miscellaneous materials. Assets
will be offered for sale through Liquidity Services’ online auction
marketplace, Govliquidation.com,
to a global buyer base.
“We are pleased to extend our 16-year relationship with the DLA as the
largest online sales channel in the U.S. for scrap material,” said Bill
Angrick, chairman and chief executive officer of Liquidity Services. “We
