RFI-Safety Management Software

The Commonwealth of Virginia, through Christopher Newport University, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for a Safety Management Software solution. The University is seeking a comprehensive, web-based system with mobile application capabilities to manage various safety-related functions, including hazardous waste management, inspections, asset tracking, incident management, chemical inventory, building evacuation drills, and permit management. The University is interested in a single software system with unlimited user licenses, mapping capabilities, single sign-on authentication, and implementation and training services. Responses to the RFI are due by February 14, 2024, and the information obtained may be used to develop requirements for a future procurement. However, this RFI is not a solicitation to purchase goods or services, and no contract will be made as a result of this RFI.

The RFI is specifically focused on the jurisdiction of Newport News City, Virginia. The University is interested in understanding the vendors' experience, client references, and firm size. The RFI states that all information provided is subject to the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, and vendors should not submit any trade secrets or proprietary information unless deemed necessary. The RFI does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it provide any information about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure and technology that requires integration. The RFI also does not include any details about possible award values or budget ranges.
