Description

This contract is to procure on-site fleet-related parts, supplies, and inventory management from Genuine Parts Company, dba NAPA Integrated Business Solutions (IBS) in an amount not to exceed $1,600,000. Fleet Services is responsible for supplying parts and managing inventory for a diverse City Fleet of approximately 2,100 vehicles and pieces of equipment. As a result of this, there is an undeniable need for a wide variety of parts required to maintain the City’s fleet. It is recommended to outsource to NAPA IBS for the purchase of auto, truck, fire apparatus equipment parts and parts operation management. The NAPA IBS will provide the City with a customized, streamlined parts management system through which Fleet Services will have access to fleet parts on an “as needed” basis without incurring the upfront expenses of investing in a parts inventory or the financial risk of parts obsolescence. NAPA supports its IBS locations and fleet department through both an internal supply chain of more than 6,000 NAPA stores and 60 distribution centers nationwide, as well as a diverse external vendor base of more than 1,400 suppliers. The NAPA IBS program will help Fleet Services reduce administrative procedures and transactional costs, and increase on-demand parts availability and fleet technician performance. Also, it will reduce vehicle downtime, eliminate obsolete parts and shrinkage costs, and cut parts costs and inventory investment. Therefore, enrolling in the NAPA IBS inventory program will enhance the overall efficiency of the Fleet Services shops. Currently, time spent waiting on parts is a significant limiting factor in the productivity of the shops.

The contract used for this procurement is a State of Georgia contract # 99999-SPD-SWL20201105-1. It was competitively bid by the State of Georgia and expires on 12/29/2024.
