Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces documented gaps in ADA/WCAG 2.1 compliance across public-facing digital platforms, creating legal and operational risk. A departmental reorganization and the 'Lifelong Tennessee' digital engagement initiative further elevate the urgency of accessible, inclusive information delivery for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget includes $10M in accessibility grants with a projected July 1, 2026 funding start, creating a near-term, defined window for remediation investment. Cooperative procurement vehicles are available, streamlining the path to award and enabling faster compliance outcomes for the public.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces active compliance mandates covering multi-factor authentication, password standards, and endpoint patch management, with a fragmented IT ecosystem that elevates exposure risk. Unresolved gaps in credential governance and endpoint visibility create operational and audit risk for staff and the constituents they serve.
The opportunity
Confirmed recurring Enabling Technology funding in the FY2026–2027 budget cycle provides a direct pathway to address compliance gaps without relying on one-time appropriations. Acting within this budget window aligns remediation with statewide technology expansion priorities and reduces the risk of audit findings or a security incident.

Emergency Management · Continuity of Operations
High Priority
About this project
This agency serving individuals with disabilities and older adults lacks publicly available EOP/COOP documentation, an agency-specific mass notification platform, and any record of HSEEP-style exercises or after-action reviews. Recent Hurricane Helene flooding has made these gaps an immediate operational and continuity risk for a vulnerable-population-serving mission.
The opportunity
An ongoing departmental reorganization creating the Department of Disability and Aging presents a timely window to establish baseline preparedness infrastructure before new leadership and priorities are set. Addressing documented gaps now reduces continuity risk and positions the agency to compete for preparedness funding in the upcoming fiscal cycle.
