Federated Statewide Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified critical gaps in statewide alerting and coordination capabilities, including an unverified EOP review status and absent after-action documentation from exercises. Compliance mandates under the Tennessee Emergency Response Plan and NIMS elevate the operational and regulatory risk of inaction.
The opportunity
A $3.1M capital funding request aligned to the FY2026–27 Military and emergency-management budget window positions this as a near-term procurement priority. Advancing now addresses compliance mandates, closes preparedness gaps, and strengthens statewide alerting capacity within an active budget cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified critical gaps in communication and coordination infrastructure at armory facilities, submitting a $390K funding request to address readiness deficiencies. Compliance with the Tennessee Emergency Response Plan and NIMS standards requires reliable, interoperable communications systems to support mission-critical operations.
The opportunity
The FY2026–27 emergency management capital budget window is open, and a broader $83M facility investment signals active departmental capital momentum. Addressing communications gaps now strengthens readiness compliance, reduces coordination risk, and positions the department to leverage aligned funding before the cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Statewide Digital Accessibility Compliance Modernization
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing websites and digital services must meet ADA, Section 508, and WCAG 2.1 AA standards, and the department is advancing into a funded second phase of compliance modernization. Failure to meet these mandates risks federal compliance violations and inequitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
With $4M explicitly allocated in the FY2026–27 budget for digital accessibility compliance, an active procurement cycle is imminent and well-funded. Acting within this fiscal window ensures alignment with federal mandates, reduces legal and audit exposure, and expands equitable access to state digital services.

Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The department operates an existing telematics deployment in a multi-vendor fleet environment, creating gaps in unified visibility and monitoring coverage. Without consolidated fleet data, operational oversight remains fragmented, increasing the risk of inefficiency and untracked asset utilization.
The opportunity
Cooperative procurement vehicles are already in place, reducing contracting lead time and administrative burden for expansion. Addressing coverage gaps now supports operational readiness and aligns with the upcoming FY capital planning cycle for fleet and public safety technology.

Discuss this project →Statewide IT & Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Enterprise-level cybersecurity mandates—including training, credential management, and Cyber Incident Response Plan (CIRP) requirements—are managed through a centralized state security model, creating compliance obligations across all departments. Gaps in endpoint and IT management present ongoing operational risk, particularly as open IT and Emergency Management positions limit internal capacity to address these requirements.
The opportunity
The centralized security governance model means enterprise-level engagement can unlock department-wide compliance alignment across the state. Addressing these needs during the upcoming fiscal planning cycle supports continuity, reduces audit exposure, and positions the enterprise for coordinated, cost-effective modernization.
