Airport Emergency Plan & Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
DFW Airport faces documented gaps in its Airport Emergency Plan — including an unconfirmed review date, notification data governance deficiencies, and no exercise-to-improvement traceability — while operating under a 14 CFR 139.325 compliance mandate. A fragmented emergency notification ecosystem and an approaching contract deadline elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
A $4.2 million grant with award notifications anticipated in October 2026 explicitly covers emergency systems and communications, offering a near-term funding pathway. Aligning modernization efforts now supports compliance, consolidates fragmented tools, and positions the airport ahead of a critical contract transition deadline in 2027.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
DFW Airport operates an active cybersecurity program with MSSP monitoring and incident response, yet a recent high-profile fiber outage and a newly restructured technology group have exposed network vulnerabilities requiring modernization. An in-progress password manager replacement and an August–September 2026 modernization deadline signal active procurement and elevated operational risk if gaps go unaddressed.
The opportunity
A $4.2 million grant covering IT equipment and communications, combined with significant FY2027 budget approvals for cybersecurity and infrastructure, creates a well-funded, time-sensitive window. Acting before the August–September 2026 deadline reduces operational risk and aligns active procurements with available cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
DFW must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 2027, with active mandates already in place. Gaps in digital accessibility expose the airport to compliance risk while also delaying a broader digital services roadmap that includes AI-enabled capabilities and improved public-facing experiences.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline provides a defined two-year window for staged remediation, and the initiative is budget-approved within DFW's current technology strategy. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and support timely, cost-effective delivery.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
DFW is actively replacing its incumbent password manager as part of a broader cybersecurity modernization program, with procurement already underway. The transition addresses credential security gaps and aligns with an active cybersecurity compliance program, reducing exposure during a period of heightened network and infrastructure activity.
The opportunity
A $4.2 million COPS TEP grant covering IT equipment and safety systems is anticipated for award in October 2026, offering a supplemental funding pathway. The August–September 2026 cybersecurity activity window creates near-term alignment for completing this procurement within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics Expansion & Transportation Optimization
Fleet Management · Transportation Modernization
High Priority
About this project
DFW Airport has an active fleet telematics deployment with documented reductions in vehicle damage and unsafe driving behaviors. Strategic fleet initiatives—including a hybrid ARFF vehicle transition and a vehicle lease pilot—signal continued investment in modernization and operational efficiency.
The opportunity
Expanding on a proven deployment during the current fiscal planning cycle maximizes existing ROI and supports fleet modernization goals. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, enabling a streamlined procurement path aligned with upcoming budget and operational timelines.
