Description

Primary Latest Change

The Office of Emergency Management (OER) is seeking a new and modernized system for all office emergencies. EMS will serve a variety of users, who work with a variety of issues, including emergencies and day to day issues. Users need a platform that operates on an issue management model and has strong search and reporting capabilities. The system needs to allow extensive data collection for the different issue types and must be able to maintain the relationships between issues. The system needs to be flexible so that users can provide new features quickly. This allows FDA users to adapt to real world situations and adopt new business practices faster. The current EMS will replace an aging system called FDA Emergency Operations Network (EON) Incident Management System (IMS). EON IMS was developed in 2002 and went live in 2004. It's an old and antiquated system that needs to be modernized. The scope of EMS is approximately 50% of EON IMS. The objective of this RFI is to secure information on an Emergency Management System (EMS) for the benefit of all existing EON IMS users and FDA Center, Offices and Programs (COPS) throughout the FDA that comply and adhere to all FDA security and privacy standards.

Background The Office of Emergency Management (OER) within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking to modernize its Emergency Management System (EMS) to replace the outdated FDA Emergency Operations Network (EON) Incident Management System (IMS), which has been in use since 2004. The goal is to develop a system that serves a variety of users dealing with emergencies and day-to-day issues, ensuring compliance with FDA security and privacy standards. Work Details The new EMS will operate on an issue management model, featuring strong search and reporting capabilities. It must allow extensive data collection for various issue types while maintaining relationships between these issues. The system should be flexible enough to enable users to quickly implement new features, facilitating adaptation to real-world situations and new business practices. The EMS will also serve as a knowledge management system for capturing incidents related to FDA-regulated products, providing timely alerts about public health issues, and generating Geographic Information System (GIS) maps of incident locations. It will create a historical record of response-related information and support operational scenarios for both steady state and surge response.
