The inventory, held at the Amentum Consolidated Storage Facility, consists of 161,409 non-functional pallets. Independent laboratory testing confirms the material is primarily 6000-series high-grade aluminum alloy with a fraction of A356 alloy, making it suitable for industrial recycling in the aerospace, automotive, and construction sectors.

Prospective buyers must navigate a strict vetting process to participate in the event, which is limited to CBP-approved entities. A refundable $100,000 earnest-money deposit is mandatory, and those interested in inspecting the goods can book appointments on July 8, 15, or 22 through CWS Marketing Group. The auction will be held live, with digital bidding options available for remote participants. This liquidation serves to funnel proceeds back into federal law enforcement and victim assistance programs while diverting the metal into a circular economy that consumes 95 percent less energy than primary aluminum production.
