Digital Repository Platform and Physical Library Management System
Opportunity Information
Description
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is seeking information from interested parties and potential vendors and systems integrators to implement a web-based Digital Repository (Virtual Library) Platform integrated with specialized Physical Library Management functionality. The primary purpose of this platform is to serve as a centralized hub providing standardized access to industry consensus standards, regulatory documentation, and reference literature applicable to LNG facility safety. The platform should allow access through IP verification or username/password, support concurrent users, and not require any additional software to be installed on the user’s computer or server.
The solution must seamlessly handle distinct tier-based access controls across geographically dispersed stakeholder groups, support concurrent platform usage, enforce digital rights management (DRM), track visitor engagement, and provide administrative reporting for PHMSA management.
FAR Part 10, Market Research is hereby referenced and applies.
