Hi everyone,
I have run into this term on an application form for authorizing a company's 特殊車両通行, and I have not idea what it means. It is on the form's upper right and is followed by a number (第xxxxxx号).
Any suggestions?
Please let me know if you need any more context.

Gregory was right, 国部整 is abriviation of 国土交通省"中部"地方整備局. The kanji "部" is taken from 中部. This is to distinguish with "中国"地方整備局, which is in south-western Japan.
For the rest part of the word in question, I found two images of declaration forms which have similar codes;
国九整福特 http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/toreramania/2174314.html
国中整三道管 http://www.torigoeunsou.co.jp/sinsei_2.jpg
The first three letters represent the regional bureau;
国九整=国土交通省九州地方整備局
国中整＝国土交通省中国地方整備局
The fourth letter stands for office name under these bureaus.
福=Fukuoka （福岡）National Route Office (http://www.qsr.mlit.go.jp/s_top/soshiki/syozai-1ran.html)
三=Miyoshi (三次) National Route Office (http://www.cgr.mlit.go.jp/cginfo/pdf/03_soshiki.pdf)
飯=Iida （飯田） National Route Office (http://www.cbr.mlit.go.jp/e_guide/list.htm)
For the rest part of the code, it is highly likely be the name of department of the office, although no information available on the web.
For exemple,
特 in 国九整福特 should be something like "special-purpose viecle", 道管 in 国中整三道管 must be "road management".
Similary, we can guess that 車 at the end of 国部整飯車 could be "vehicle department".

: Wow! Well done on working that one out... what a shocker of an abbreviation!

: Agreed. IT's an official document number, so you should not worry about it too much in your translation. Bureaucratic documents have these often.

: 「国部整」は、「国土交通省中部地方整備局」の略、後段の「飯」は「飯田国道事務所」 の略。 「車」は特殊車両通行許可申請に関する文書のことのようです。よって、Vehicle Department ではなく、Special Vehicle Permission あたりが適当かもしれません。
