Emergency Operations & Mass Notification Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
This agency lacks a publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan, has no agency-wide mass-notification system, and recent Capitol evacuations exposed critical gaps in coordinated emergency messaging. Unmet NIMS and COOP compliance mandates further elevate operational and life-safety risk for staff, visitors, and the public.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Next Generation Warning System Grant Program represents a well-aligned, time-sensitive funding opportunity to close these preparedness gaps with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window supports compliance, strengthens life-safety outcomes, and positions the agency ahead of future budget reduction mandates.

About this project
A mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027 applies across multiple public-facing websites and online forms, with the current environment fragmented across numerous web development vendors. This fragmentation elevates compliance risk and delivers an inconsistent digital experience to the residents and visitors these services are meant to serve.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline compresses procurement and implementation timelines into the near term, making early planning critical. Active digital-modernization initiatives and capital budget growth create a viable funding pathway, while cooperative procurement vehicles available to state entities can streamline acquisition and reduce cost.

Facilities Management · Life-Safety & Security
High Priority
About this project
An agency-wide facilities renewal program is underway to address aging infrastructure and modernize life-safety, access-security, and building systems across agency facilities. Deferred upgrades elevate operational risk and compliance exposure, with gaps in emergency preparedness—including no publicly identified continuity plan—compounding the urgency.
The opportunity
Capital budget growth signals dedicated funding availability for this top-priority initiative, and cooperative procurement vehicles can streamline acquisition within the current planning cycle. Acting now positions the agency to close life-safety gaps, meet NIMS and COOP compliance requirements, and reduce operational risk before incidents escalate.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active compliance mandates require a structured cybersecurity awareness training program, and an expiring IT support contract creates near-term urgency to evaluate and secure continuity of critical IT and security functions. Gaps in credential management and training coverage elevate operational and compliance risk for staff and public-facing systems.
The opportunity
An IT support funding request for FY26–27 signals budget alignment, and cooperative procurement vehicles available to state entities can streamline acquisition with reduced administrative burden. Acting within the current planning cycle ensures compliance continuity and positions the agency ahead of contract expiration in August 2027.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The agency's IT support contract expires August 31, 2027, creating a compressed window to evaluate, procure, and transition endpoint management capabilities without service disruption. Concurrent compliance deadlines are accelerating planning timelines and elevating operational risk if action is deferred.
The opportunity
An active FY26–27 IT support funding request signals budget alignment, and the agency's established IT spend demonstrates capacity to act within the current fiscal cycle. Engaging now allows sufficient lead time for compliant procurement—likely via cooperative contract vehicles—before the contract expiration creates a gap in coverage.
