Used USCG or gov. RHIB for sale? Where to find?

I know people have purchased used Zodiac Hurricanes and such directly from gov. agencies.
Are there any specific sites to locate these decommissioned vessels?
Thanks!

on a side note to this, i'm wondering where all the boats currently in the yard from migrants coming across will go on sale!

Auction as a block or sealed bid I would have thought. They should then start appearing on eBay

Gsaauctions.gov

I got mine from govt liquidations but it looks like they changed names and are different now.

GSA auctions, govdeals, purplewave, etc.

I got lucky and found my zodiac hurricane (USCG surplus that went to sheriffs dept) at a public auction in washington state.

I have found washington state has quite a few surplus ribs pop up from time to time as a result of the all the ferries and port authority boats around.
