Ectoparasite Incident Response & Emergency Management
Emergency Management · Animal & Agricultural Safety
High Priority
About this project
TAHC faces critical emergency preparedness gaps—including an unreviewed Emergency Operations Plan, no dedicated mass notification system, staffing shortages, and active jurisdiction-wide exposure to New World screwworm—elevating operational and public safety risk. The agency's formal compliance role with TDEM reinforces the urgency of closing these gaps.
The opportunity
A $26.7M exceptional funding request is actively in motion, creating a near-term procurement window for incident-response capabilities. Federal grant programs such as EMPG and HSGP offer additional funding paths, and acting within the current budget cycle strengthens multi-jurisdictional response readiness and compliance posture.
Fleet Modernization and Safety Technology Upgrade
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A 2018 audit identified significant fleet data inaccuracies, and the agency's internally developed fleet system provides limited oversight and weak asset visibility. Aging vehicles and insufficient fleet management capacity create elevated safety risk for field staff and the public, with a compliance remediation deadline of 2027.
The opportunity
A $2.99M exceptional budget request has been submitted, signaling an active, near-term procurement window aligned with current fiscal planning. Addressing fleet modernization now meets the 2027 compliance deadline, reduces operational and safety risk, and leverages established state contract vehicles for streamlined procurement.

IT Modernization · Animal & Agricultural Health
High Priority
About this project
TAHC has submitted a $600K exceptional budget request to modernize its animal health data management systems, which currently limit operational efficiency and cross-jurisdictional emergency response coordination. Outdated data infrastructure creates risk for timely disease detection, incident response, and interagency information sharing across the state.
The opportunity
The active budget submission signals a funded planning window aligned with near-term procurement, making this an ideal moment to advance modernization. Addressing this gap strengthens agricultural emergency response capacity, supports multi-jurisdictional coordination, and aligns with TAHC's broader IT modernization strategy within the current budget cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces a hard April 26, 2027 deadline to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards across all public-facing digital properties. A concurrent paperless operations initiative compounds the scope, requiring coordinated digital transformation to ensure equitable public access and regulatory compliance.
The opportunity
The defined April 2027 compliance deadline creates a clear procurement window aligned with active budget planning cycles. Addressing accessibility and digital services gaps now reduces legal exposure, improves public service delivery, and positions the agency to leverage existing state contract vehicles for cost-effective implementation.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The agency operates under active cybersecurity compliance mandates with an existing security stack that signals maturity but also unmet integration and expansion needs. Gaps in credential management and unified IT management tooling introduce operational and compliance risk across a technology environment undergoing broad modernization.
The opportunity
With annual IT and software spend exceeding $3.1M and grant programs such as EMPG and HSGP representing potential sub-recipient funding paths, the current budget cycle offers a viable window to close security gaps. Acting now aligns modernization investments with active mandates and reduces exposure before compliance timelines tighten.
