THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. This is a Request for Information (RFI)/Sources Sought notice issued in accordance with FAR 15.201(e) to conduct market research. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue a RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is not, at this time, seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested vendor's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. Any information submitted by respondents to this RFI is strictly voluntary. All submissions become Government property and will not be returned. This announcement is based upon the best information available and is subject to future modification. OVERVIEW: 1).

Definition of SaaS: SaaS is a software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted. It is sometimes referred to as "on-demand software". SaaS is typically accessed by users using a thin client via a web browser. SaaS providers generally price applications using a subscription fee, most commonly a monthly fee or an annual fee. Applications are purchased and used online with files saved in the cloud rather than on individual computers. 3).

The system/service shall reside on the vendor's systems and be accessible to VHA through an intuitive, browser-based user interface.

An EH&S auditing software system that provides access to comprehensive and current regulatory information structured in a consistent, easily accessible, format. 4).

Ability to have at least 5 levels of administration (administrator, national, regional, local, and site) and mask location/facility audit data from other locations/facilities. 6). An EH&S auditing software system that is configurable (modular) to tailored solutions for specific VHA business processes and organizational work flows. 7).
