WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 13, 2012-- Liquidity Services, Inc.

This builds upon our 11 years of proven experience as an innovative and trusted solution provider in support of a critical government mission to keep surplus and idle inventories moving out of more than 200 DoD facilities nationwide in a secure and efficient manner," said Bill Angrick, Chairman and CEO of Liquidity Services. "Over the past decade-plus, Liquidity Services has sold close to two billion pounds of scrap material and over 55 million DoD surplus items through its marketplace www.govliquidation.com, generating over half a billion dollars back to the U.S. Treasury and consistently exceeding historic expectations.
