Cannabis Seed-to-Sale ERP System Implementation

Cannabis Control Commission, Massachusetts is the regulating body that implements and administers laws enabling access to medical and adult-use marijuana in the Commonwealth. The board is planning policies and procedures to encourage and enable full participation of people from communities that have previously been harmed by marijuana prohibition and enforcement.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission is soliciting Bidders for

the acquisition to provide a seed-to-sale electronic tracking system of record (seed-to-sale

SOR), which will serve as the Commonwealth’s system of record for the regulated cannabis

industry.

The Commission’s governing laws and regulations require that the agency has a seed-to-sale

SOR to track licensed operators’ cannabis products and activity from initial planting (seed),

growth stages, manufacturing and extraction, final production, transfer, through final sale.

The system must allow for transparency between the Commission, each individual marijuana

establishment (ME) or medical marijuana treatment center (MTC), and the public.

• System must capture life cycle of an individual Marijuana plant, from seed and cultivation,

through growth, harvest and manufacture of Marijuana Products and Marijuana Infused

Products, (including transportation if needed) to final sale off finished products.

• The Seed to Sale Electronic Tracking System should utilize unique-plant identification and

unique-batch identification.

• Must be able to track Agents' and Registrants' involvement with the Marijuana Product.

• Any secondary system used by the Marijuana Establishment, Marijuana Treatment Center,

or an Independent Testing Laboratory needs to be able to integrate with the Seed to Sale

Platform.

• Must be able to track lab testing samples of multiple product types from initial pull to

entered results.

• Must be able to house and track testing results and certificates of analysis to ensure

required testing is completed per product type/stage; must also be able to track

remediation and/or destruction actions related to failed results. Retest/Remediation limits

should be built into the system.

• Must be able to notify to Licensees/the Commission of expired products within the seed

to sale system. The system must be able to lock these products to prevent additional

transfer and/or sale.

• Must be able to report waste on all license types, not just cultivation.
