Enterprise Service Management (ESM) Deployment and Professional Services
Solicitation # ABMCFY26_ESMDeployment
The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation (ABMCFY26_ESMDeployment) for professional services to support its Enterprise Service Management (ESM) objectives. This requirement, categorized under NAICS 541519, is a Part 2 solicitation that specifically excludes software licenses, which are covered under a separate award. The selected contractor will be responsible for the deployment, configuration, migration, integration, security, training, rollout, operation, and maintenance of Freshworks products. Key technical requirements include integration with Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on and multi-factor authentication, implementation of role-based access controls, and the creation of automated workflows for various departments and global sites. The scope of work is organized into five Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs): CLINs 0001 through 0003 cover a phased six-month implementation, CLIN 0004 provides one year of operations and maintenance, and CLIN 0005 serves as an unpriced placeholder for future task-based enhancements. The acquisition will be conducted using a best-value tradeoff approach, where non-price factors are considered more important than price. Evaluation criteria focus on the technical approach—specifically implementation, sustainment, and key personnel qualifications—as well as corporate experience and past performance, requiring at least three relevant examples from the last five years. Key personnel, including a project manager, business analyst, and platform configuration specialist, must demonstrate direct experience with ESM and Microsoft Entra ID, with configuration staff required to be based in the United States. CLINs 0001 through 0004 are structured as firm-fixed-price items, and ABMC reserves the right to withhold up to ten percent of these values until deliverables are formally accepted. Proposals must be submitted via email to the designated points of contact, with the most recent deadline extended to 11:59 PM on Tuesday, August 25, 2026.
