The purpose of the AFAP Program is to establish an enterprise-level automotive parts ordering system entitled Internet-Based Contractor Operated Parts Store (ICOPARS) to increase lethality, readiness, and standardization of automotive parts acquisition fleet wide. The information obtained from this Industry Day will assist the Government in understanding the capabilities available in the industry and inform the development of a way-ahead for 763 ESS to obtain products/services on behalf of the 441st Vehicle Support Chain Operation Squadron.

For the Air Force Auto Parts requirement, the contractor shall provide all personnel, supervision and any items and services necessary to operate an Internet-based Contractor Operated Parts Store (ICOPARS). The basic concept of an ICOPARS requires a contractor provided/managed Internet software program that enables personnel in the field to place/track vehicle parts/tool purchase requests and identify the parts/tools as received with minimal effort. The contractor shall be responsible for determining the part number when not provided, selecting the correct vendor, procurement of the part, shipping/tracking, and other associated tasks designated in the Statement of Work (SOW) (Attachment 1). The contractor shall furnish automotive and related vehicle parts, automotive chemicals, corrosion control materials, upholstery material, and accessories for approximately 9,500 vehicles/equipment located at 47 Air Force bases in the Continental United States. Specialized tools may be purchased under this contract when approved by the Logistics Officer in Charge (LOIC) or the Wing Vehicle Fleet Manager (WVFM). Services for repair/rebuilding/remanufacturing are not authorized under this contract.
