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 audiences as soon as the information is generated with auditing capabilities, real-time notification via short messaging services (SMS) texting and other forms of messaging. The NTSB’s ROC is seeking a cloud-based web-enabled software as a service 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 ROC staff shall be able to use the software to track, view, and print reports with the above information. The software is to provide a wide range of professional services and these services are to be specialized in nature and focused on configuration and technical support for the software technology. The software shall be able to interface with the NTSB’s current 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.
