QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS PURSUANT TO RFQ SB1341-15-RQ-1070 (M)SDS

AND CHEMICAL LABEL GENERATOR ONLINE SUBSCRIPTION

Q1. The requirement for SDS collection and the number seems to be very uncommon.

MSDS are for chemical (either a pure or a mixture) that are manufactured by manufacturers. So, I do not fully understand what is meant by general SDS. Are you referring to SDS generated by an entity other than the manufacturer? If so, my question is obvious – why would you want general SDS over Manufacturer SDS?

A1. Yes, the reference is to an SDS generated by the entity. NIST requires both vendor generated SDSs and general SDSs.

Q2. With the recent change to GHS SDS, how relevant is the number of SDSs? Will a smaller, cleaner and more accurate database be entertained as long as all the necessary data points are covered?

A2. No

Q3. What is the relevance and need for 20M MSDS because I assume that this database would be 15 years old?

A3. This is the comprehensive database required by NIST.

Q4. Are you looking for a cloud-based solution?

A4. Cloud based is fine.

Q5. Do you want Single Sign on?

A5. All NIST employees shall be able to sign on without password authentication.

Q6. Do you want to map facilities information to the physical location of the chemicals?

A6. No

Q7. Do you need to maintain inventory of chemicals?

A7. No

Q8. Will you have different roles and access controls?

A8. No

Q9. Will you be generating reports?
