ICLIP

Overview

Notice -On May 20, 2025, the Interagency Cache Logistics Inventory Program (ICLIP) replaces Interagency Cache Business System (ICBS). Please use ICLIP for current information.

  • Interagency Cache Logistics Inventory Program (ICLIP) is an interagency system whose mission is to support incident teams with supplies and equipment.
  • ICLIP, which performs functionally similar to ICBS, supports the ordering, tracking, and delivery of mission-critical supplies to support the firefighting communities mission.  
  • ICLIP is a warehouse management and inventory system that supports the unique requirements of the NISC system. The NISC manages all items that make up the National Fire Equipment System (NFES) for fire/all hazards incident use. This inventory includes, but is not limited to, firefighting tools, personal protective clothing and equipment, fire shelters, pumps, hose, specialized incident communications equipment, forms, and training materials. 
  • ICLIP is used at 15 interagency incident support caches hosted by the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and state agencies.      
  • The 15 Interagency caches do a robust business, managing more than $225 million in inventory, and refurbishing many items that are used many times during a fire season. The caches also have processes that determine when an item requires permanent disposal.

System Status: ICLIP is Operational
