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

The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) is seeking information on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) platforms that can replace or improve the current WeRemember.ABMC.gov environment. The desired solution must support a public-facing research portal and an internal records and case management capability. It must manage structured and unstructured data, provide accurate and responsive search, support document and media attachments, enforce role-based access, and allow ABMC staff to administer content and configuration without excessive contractor dependence. The key features and requirements of the solution include: • Public search by name, date, cemetery, unit, state, and other attributes • Internal access to supporting files, research materials, and case records • Attachment and management of documents, images, and other media • Configurable public and internal data access controls • Workflow for updates, corrections, reviews, and approvals • Export to Excel, CSV, or similar formats • Reporting, usage statistics, and audit support • API and integration capabilities, including support for secure RESTful, OAI-PMH, or equivalent interfaces • ABMC branding and visual presentation requirements for public-facing interfaces • Data migration and reconciliation from multiple sources • Search and user experience features, including faceted filtering, fuzzy search, OCR support, relevance tuning, accessibility, and overall usability • Administration and maintainability, including configuration of metadata, forms, branding, workflows, business rules, user roles, search settings, and reports • Security and compliance, including role-based access, audit logs, vulnerability management, Section 508 accessibility, secure hosting, API security, and records management capabilities
