It is not a Request for Proposal or a promise to issue a Request for Proposal in the future.

Respondents are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in responding to this RFI. Responses will not be returned. 1. BACKGROUND. The Hazardous Materials Information Resource System (HMIRS) is a Department of Defense (DoD) automated system developed and maintained by the Defense Logistics Agency. HMIRS is the central repository and authoritative source for Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the United States Government military services and civil agencies, per DODI 6050.05. It also contains government unique value-added information input by the service/agency focal points. This value-added data includes HAZCOM warning labels and transportation information. The system assists Federal Government personnel who handle, store, transport, use, or dispose of hazardous materials. MSDS information includes chemical constituency and hazard communications information needed to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT). DoD focal points scan the MSDS into HMIRS and enter value-added information related to transportation, labeling, environmental, and disposal information into the system. DLA Logistics Information Service has an ongoing requirement to improve the quality and efficiency of hazardous materials information life-cycle management to ensure current and future regulatory requirements are met. DLA Logistics Information Service requires information on available industry Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hazardous materials management applications. 2. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to conduct market research which will be used to ensure DLA is using the most appropriate and advantageous COTS application to manage its hazardous materials information. 3.
