Internet-based Contractor Operated Parts Store (ICOPARS)

The Internet-based Contractor Operated Parts Store (ICOPARS) contract, solicitation number FA4803-10-R-0014, tasks the contractor with providing all personnel, supervision, and services necessary to establish and operate an online parts store supporting the United States Air Force Central (USAFCENT) Area of Responsibility. The contractor is responsible for furnishing automotive and related vehicle parts, chemicals, corrosion control materials, upholstery, and accessories for approximately 5,500 vehicles and pieces of equipment. This expansive operational area includes numerous countries across the Middle East, Central Asia, and East Africa. While specialized tools may be acquired with approval from the Contracting Officers Representative, services for repair, rebuilding, or remanufacturing are strictly prohibited under this agreement. Managed by the Department of Defense through the 20 Cons Lgca at Shaw Air Force Base, the contract requires the implementation of a robust ordering process and the use of the IPMS system to handle shipping, tracking, invoicing, and reporting. The contractor must account for a high turnover of personnel at delivery locations, as staff typically redeploy every 180 days. The scope of work emphasizes a comprehensive logistics framework to ensure the consistent supply of critical vehicle components and materials across a diverse and geographically dispersed theater of operations.
