The ICMS software is a highly customized product of Re:discovery Software, Inc. All DOI bureaus and offices that manage museum collections are required to use ICMS to ensure uniform record keeping of DOI museum collections data for accountability and resource management purposes. DOI procured perpetual licenses to the system more than 15 years ago. Currently, the system contains over 100 million cataloged items and provides data about DOI museum collections in response to inquiries from Congress, the Office of Management and Budget, DOI leadership, and the public.

ICMS facilitates the exchange of museum collections data in support of collection management, scientific studies, resource stewardship, and public outreach and education. This purchase for maintenance and technical support is required to continue receiving access to Re:discovery's ICMS technical support services.
