Burial and Memorialization Electronic Directory (BMeD) Commercial Off-the-Shelf Platforms

The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) issued this Request for Information (RFI) to identify mature, secure, cloud-based commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) platforms to replace or modernize the current WeRemember.ABMC.gov environment. The agency requires a stable and user-friendly system to manage approximately 250,000 authoritative burial and memorialization records, supporting both internal staff operations and public research. The primary objectives for this transition include enhancing usability, reliability, and long-term flexibility while securing stronger vendor and integrator support for mission-critical data.

This market research effort is classified under NAICS 513210 Software Publishers, and there is no set-aside (NONE) designated for this notice. The project is managed by the ABMC office located in Virginia, and the agency is seeking information on technical approaches, implementation strategies, and rough order of magnitude pricing. Associated documentation includes two attachments: a Questions and Answers Template and the full RFI document.

Interested parties must submit responses to point of contact Jessica Young by May 16, 2026, though the description specifies a target date of May 8, 2026. Submissions are limited to 20 pages, excluding product literature, and should detail company information, product overviews, and relevant experience. This sources sought notice is identified by solicitation number ABMCFY27_BMeD_COTS_RFI.
