Request For Information (RFI)- Chemical Management Software

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is seeking market insight on commercial chemical‑management software to replace its existing Excel‑based system for the Richmond Laboratory Campus (≈500–600 staff). The solution must centralize Safety Data Sheet (SDS) storage, support barcode/QR‑code inventory tracking, provide robust regulatory reporting (including CERS‑compatible export), enable secondary labeling, and allow on‑premises or FedRAMP‑authorized cloud deployment while meeting CDPH’s IPSR and ISO/SR1 security standards. Vendors are asked to submit a three‑year cost proposal and describe capabilities, experience, evaluation metrics, and implementation timeline. • Core functions: SDS library with auto‑updates, barcode/QR‑code driven inventory, real‑time volume tracking, CERS‑format reporting, and OSHA/GHS‑compliant labeling. • Deployment options: Preferred on‑premises installation; cloud (FedRAMP‑authorized) acceptable if US‑hosted and security‑compliant. • Scale: Support ~600 users (≈100 concurrent editors, 200 read‑only), ~3,000 SDS PDFs, and integration with CDPH identity provider for SSO.
