Automotive Parts Acquisition Guide.
Abstract
Preliminary analysis showed some bases are using COPARS to purchase vehicle parts, others are using IMPAC. Also many bases are performing economic analysis (EA) to identify which course of action gives the best value to the Government. For these reasons we have also included vast information about the IMPAC and Economic Analysis processes in the guide. Hence, the name of the guide has been changed to Automotive Parts Acquisition Guide. The Automotive Parts Acquisition Guide is comprised of three chapters, Chapter 1 covers the COPARS process, Chapter II talks about the Economic Analysis and Chapter III is dedicated to the Government Purchase Card. The guide addresses the background of the COPARS program, contracting and transportation processes, lessons learned, things to look for, suggested remedies, a template Statement of Work for COPARS, and a sample economic analysis. The document will inform transportation personnel about the contracting process while also supplying contracting personnel with basic information about the transportation process. It will also address issues pertaining to the Economic Analysis process. The guide will serve as a training tool for both contracting and transportation personnel. This product will be placed in AFLMA's web site where it may be accessed by contracting and transportation personnel.
