The word is made up of the verb 'liefern' (to deliver) and the ending '-bar' (-able). The ending '-bar' means 'can be ...' and forms adjectives from verbs. So 'lieferbar' literally means 'can be delivered.'
Ist dieses Ersatzteil noch lieferbar?
Is this replacement part still available?
'Lieferbar' is almost always used predicatively, that is, together with the verb 'sein' (to be). Using it directly before a noun (attributively) is grammatically possible, but very rare.
Der gewünschte Artikel ist leider nicht mehr lieferbar.
Unfortunately, the requested item is no longer available.
In the context of trade and logistics, 'lieferbar' is often combined with adverbs. Common phrases are 'sofort lieferbar' (available immediately), 'kurzfristig lieferbar' (available at short notice), or 'nicht mehr lieferbar' (no longer available).

'verfügbar' and 'lieferbar' can both mean, for products, that you can get them. 'verfügbar' is broader: it only says that something is ready or available. 'lieferbar' is more specific when a product can be ordered and sent to the customer. An item can be available in a store but not necessarily deliverable. Conversely, 'lieferbar' already says that shipping or delivery is possible. That is why 'lieferbar' often sounds more natural for online orders.
