Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
DFW lacks an identifiable current Emergency Operations Plan, experienced a documented notification-control failure during the Terminal E evacuation, and carries data governance risk across 60,000+ emergency contacts. FAA 14 CFR 139.325 mandates annual EOP reviews and exercises, creating an active, hard compliance deadline.
The opportunity
The current emergency notification contract establishes a defined renewal window through August 2027, and DFW is explicitly identified for a $4.2M FY2026 COPS TEP grant aligned to this technology category. The FY2027 budget has been approved with targeted increases for emergency notification systems, making this a funded, time-sensitive initiative.

Discuss this project →Enterprise Cybersecurity Controls & Password Management
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
DFW faces active TSA-aligned cybersecurity compliance mandates with MSSP and networking contracts commencing in the near term, creating regulatory pressure for immediate action. Strategic initiatives include enterprise browser security modernization with integrated password management, supported by dedicated budget increases within the approved Microsoft ELA and broader cybersecurity tooling investments.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget is approved with specific funding increases allocated to cybersecurity, and TSA-aligned compliance deadlines create near-term urgency. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with active mandates, reduces regulatory exposure, and strengthens operational security across the enterprise.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
DFW faces a hard DOJ Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across all public-facing digital portals by April 26, 2027. Unresolved accessibility gaps expose the authority to regulatory risk and limit equitable public access to critical airport services and information.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget is approved and cooperative purchasing vehicles are in place, enabling accelerated procurement before the compliance deadline. Acting now allows sufficient time for remediation, testing, and validation—reducing audit exposure and ensuring equitable digital access for all travelers and stakeholders.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Expansion
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
DFW faces sustained fleet safety risks including driver behavior, aging emergency apparatus, and runway incursion hazards. An existing telematics deployment has shown positive results, but ongoing investments in vehicle monitoring, fire apparatus, and airfield safety signal continued operational exposure requiring expanded capability.
The opportunity
The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program offers potential funding for resilience and evacuation-route technology, and the FY2027 budget is approved with public safety allocations in place. Expanding current telematics capabilities now supports predictive maintenance goals, reduces operational risk, and aligns with active digital transformation priorities.

Discuss this project →Electronic Signature Platform Implementation
Digital Transformation · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
DFW Airport has an active, funded strategic initiative to implement an electronic signature platform as part of its broader digital transformation program. Without a standardized e-signature solution, document workflows remain manual and inefficient, creating operational risk and slowing mission-critical processes across departments.
The opportunity
Budget has been approved in FY2027, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in place, enabling accelerated, compliant procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces administrative burden and positions the organization to realize efficiency gains without delay.
