Mass Notification Modernization & IPAWS Public Alerting Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
MPSCIB's public alerting infrastructure is at a critical juncture, with its current mass notification platform under active review and IPAWS integration pending federal approval. This gap in finalized, interoperable alerting capability creates direct operational and FCC/NIMS compliance risk for statewide emergency communications readiness.
The opportunity
FY26 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding explicitly covers emergency communications equipment and flows to subrecipients like MPSCIB, providing an accessible path forward. Active procurement activity and existing enterprise contract structures signal an immediate evaluation window aligned with current fiscal planning cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Michigan's public safety communications system faces significant funding shortfalls for lifecycle replacement and sustainment, creating operational risk for interoperable emergency response. With $6.7M allocated for MPSCS maintenance and FCC/NIMS compliance requirements in effect, the urgency to stabilize and modernize core infrastructure is critical.
The opportunity
Dedicated budget allocations and $50M in public-safety revenue-sharing grants create a rare, time-sensitive funding alignment for infrastructure action. FY26 grant programs, including HSGP and BRIC, offer eligible pathways to address lifecycle gaps while advancing interoperability, compliance, and community safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →LEIN Encryption & Endpoint Security Compliance
Cybersecurity · Public Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
FBI and MSP CJIS mandates require AES-256 encryption for all LEIN data, with a hard compliance deadline of October 1, 2026. Failure to meet this non-discretionary requirement risks loss of access to critical law enforcement information systems, directly impacting public safety operations.
The opportunity
The October 2026 deadline makes this the most time-bound project in the portfolio, requiring procurement action within the current fiscal cycle. Existing IT budget allocations and indirect cybersecurity funding alignment provide a viable path to close the compliance gap before the mandate takes effect.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance is a documented requirement for the agency, signaling identified gaps across public-facing digital properties. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and restricts equitable public access to government services and information.
The opportunity
Accessibility compliance is non-discretionary, providing a clear and defensible basis for procurement action within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition, reducing administrative burden and accelerating time to compliance.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
MPSCIB's reliance on Microsoft 365 and Azure AD creates pressing requirements for unified credential and access governance across the agency. FBI/MSP CJIS mandates requiring AES-256 encryption for LEIN data carry a hard compliance deadline of October 2026, elevating both operational and regulatory risk if unaddressed.
The opportunity
The October 2026 CJIS encryption deadline creates a defined action window, and MPSCIB's $47M annual IT spend provides funding headroom for security investments. Established cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use by the agency offer a streamlined, compliant procurement path to close this gap efficiently.
