Background The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is a federal agency mandated by Congress to investigate all aviation accidents and selected accidents/incidents in other modes of transportation and report the results of those investigations. In support of this mission, the NTSB runs a 24-hour 7 day a week Response Operations Center (ROC). The NTSB s ROC is seeking a cloud-based, web-enabled software capable of providing a centralized, secure, and integrated incident management system designed to manage incidents, accidents, and events. The agency requires an efficient means of disseminating information with and among investigative participants. The NTSB currently operates a centralized information dashboard for gathering real time investigative data. The NTSB has a continued need to further utilize a solution that will disseminate accurate and timely information to the intended audience as soon as the information is generated with auditing capabilities, real-time notification via short messaging services (SMS) texting, email and other forms of messaging for both the ROC mission. NTSB staff regularly deploy to accident sites to conduct our accident investigations. Accidents can occur in a variety of locations across the country and world, and the hazards are often not known until we arrive on scene. Assessing those hazards, the risks associated, and potential mitigation strategies and PPE requirements are all critical to ensuring the safety of our employees. As part of a process of continuous improvement, this risk assessment has been reviewed and revised to accurately reflect potential hazards while making it simple for investigators to complete while on scene. The NTSB s ROC is seeking a cloud-based web-enabled software as a service (SaaS) solution capable of providing a centralized, secure, and integrated incident management system designed to manage information during the launch of incidents, accidents, and events. The software shall include the ability to process information for mission/tasking, situation reporting, significant events, and incident action planning. The NTSB ROC staff shall be able to use the software to track, view, and print reports with the above information. The contractor shall provide professional services which are specialized in nature and focused on configuration and technical support for the software technology. The software shall provide an emergency notification system to send SMS text, email messages, and voicemail messages to an individual or Outlook Active Directory group simultaneously through multiple types of devices (Android or Apple devices, email, and voicemail). The software shall be able to function for a minimum of 250 users simultaneously.

The government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals. The government reserves the right to award without discussions.
