The Biden administration has been actively selling surplus border wall materials in an effort to outrun Republican attempts to pass legislation supporting its completion. A company called GovPlanet, specializing in military surplus, recently auctioned off steel structural tubes intended for the border wall.

These 28-foot-tall hollow beams, considered excess materials turned over by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, fetched around $2 million. GovPlanet managed to sell 81 lots of these beams, with each lot averaging around $212. An additional 13 structural tubes are scheduled for auction later this month.

To comply with regulations, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been disposing of the excess border wall materials, with about $154 million worth of bollard panels and other materials already transferred.

Approximately $260 million worth of materials remains to be dealt with, pending a decision on their disposition. Former President Donald Trump allocated $15 billion for building 450 miles of barriers along the southern border, with construction ongoing for another 250 miles when he left office.
