Background: The U.S. Government is contemplating the renewal of a software license to support the web-based Army Hazard Tracking System at Joint Base Lewis McChord, WA for a year. Joint Base Lewis McChord currently utilizes two modules within the Risk Management Suite (RMS), developed and distributed by Zoldak Group, Inc. to support their hazard tracking system. These two modules are the Facility Management Assistant (FMA) and the Incident Analysis Module (IAM). This software is a risk-based tool for description, evaluation, and control of a variety of safety and occupational hazards for Installation Safety Office. The purpose of this sources sought is to determine if there are any alternative commercial off-the-shelf software risk management suites available on the market that are compliant with all applicable Department of Defense and U.S. Army Safety regulations. These regulations, include, but are not limited to Army Regulation (AR-385), OSHA Standards (29 CFR 1910, 29 CFR 1926), the Army Safety Program, and DoD Risk Management Program DoDI 6055.1. Licensing support should include use of the software for up to 100 users, software updates as required, remote help desk technical assistance, and software migration to new Army-owned hardware as required. Be advised that the U.S. Government will not be able to set aside this requirement if 2 or more small businesses do not respond with information to support the set-aside. We encourage all small businesses, in all socioeconomic categories (including, 8(a) Business Development Program, Small Disadvantage Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned Small Business concerns), to identify their capabilities in meeting the requirement at a fair market price.
