- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA requires an existing internet based chemical storage and tracking system in combination with an extensive database of Material Safety Datasheets and other hazardous substance reports, to support an NASA Occupational Health initiative to standardize hazardous materials information across the Agency, and to roll up Agency hazardous material inventory information. The support access is 30,000 users located at 14 centers. ? The program should include a hazardous material storage and tracking system that will allow the user to set up at least three levels of location, and have password security capability to change the information. The storage and tracking system must be integrated with or linked to the database of hazardous substances and hazardous substance information. ? All existing Material Safety Data Sheet database information must have been independently researched. ? The successful bidder must have the capability to produce and add independently researched MSDSs to the database for NASA requested chemicals that are not currently in the existing database, include a number of them in the product offering. ? Each independently researched Material Safety Data Sheet must be linked to linked to a labeling system, that is capable of providing customized container labels of various types and sized. ? The program must include a custom label design/print program that allows users to design labels from small to large sizes and print to standard labels like Brady or Labelmaster or Avery, and the label programming must be linked to the hazardous substance database for electronic transfer of information to the user designed label. ? The user interface, Material Safety Data Sheets, substance information and labeling system must be "multi-language" ready to support NASA's diverse workforce. Graphical User Interface is preferable. ? The database must be searchable by multiple parameters including name, partial name, ingredient, CAS#, DOT Class, assigned part # or preferred name. ? The database must consist of pure substances, common mixtures, common laboratory and research mixtures, and trade products. ? The database of information must be updated quarterly. ? The program must be commercial off the shelf and able to operate on a PC, LAN or the Internet (World Wide Web). ? The database must allow the addition of supplier MSDSs as images. ? The information on individual hazardous substances must be comprehensive, yet must contain provisions to supply a "summary" of information and other reports for dealing with hazardous substances emergencies (fire, regulatory, spill, etc.). ? The database must offer detailed information on synonyms, ingredients, hazardous materials use, hazardous materials hazards, first aid, first response, hazardous materials handling, personal protective equipment, physical properties, toxicological information, ecotoxicity, spill disposal, NFPA codes, regulatory listings, and transportation requirements. ? The database of chemicals must be searchable by name or partial name, ingredient, CAS# plus other parameters (see previous item).
