Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Higher Education Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Texas A&M System Office lacks a publicly available, dated Emergency Operations Plan, a dedicated mass-notification platform, and a post-disaster after-action report — all required under System Regulation 34.07.01. Fragmented notification tools across the system create compliance gaps and elevate risk to students, staff, and campus communities.
The opportunity
A pending FY 2026 grant award with a funding range near $3M specifically covering emergency communications, combined with newly approved FY2027 operating and capital budgets and a new CIO, creates an immediate window to act. Cooperative procurement vehicles are in place, enabling faster, compliant acquisition aligned with current budget and planning cycles.

Discuss this project →Systemwide Disaster Recovery & Preparedness Coordination
Emergency Management · Higher Education Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The System Office operates an active, structured disaster recovery planning and exercise program requiring sustained technology and process support for systemwide coordination. System Regulation 34.07.01 imposes recurring compliance deadlines, and gaps in unified recovery coordination elevate operational risk across member institutions and the communities they serve.
The opportunity
Approved FY2027 capital and operating budgets—including increased Safety & Security allocations—signal strong near-term funding alignment. A pending federal grant award targeting emergency management and communications further reduces local cost burden, and cooperative purchasing vehicles streamline procurement to accelerate delivery.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A systemwide cybersecurity modernization initiative is underway, with a hard MFA compliance deadline of February 28, 2027, and a UIN Login credential sunset set for November 1, 2026. Gaps in identity and access management create measurable compliance and operational risk across the institution's users, systems, and data.
The opportunity
Incoming technology leadership and a recently approved FY2027 operating budget signal an active window for establishing new security priorities. Cooperative procurement vehicles are in place, and the institution's $16.8M+ annual IT spend reflects capacity to advance compliance-driven initiatives within the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A confirmed November 2026 sunset of the legacy UIN Login system is driving an active, time-bound identity and access management overhaul across the university system. Overlapping mandates require full MFA compliance by February 2027 under the system's Security Control Standards Catalog, elevating both operational and compliance risk if action is delayed.
The opportunity
The compressed window between the UIN Login sunset and the MFA compliance deadline demands near-term planning and implementation to avoid access disruption and audit exposure. Confirmed FY2027 budget capacity and cooperative procurement vehicles support timely, cost-effective action aligned with current fiscal planning cycles.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Higher Education Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The A&M System operates under an active, ongoing mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA standards across a large, distributed portfolio of digital properties. Without continuous monitoring and remediation, the system faces compliance exposure and risks excluding students, staff, and the public from equitable access to digital services.
The opportunity
With FY2027 budgets approved and a new CIO establishing technology priorities, this is a defined window to embed accessibility compliance into broader digital modernization efforts. Cooperative contract vehicles are available to streamline procurement and accelerate implementation within the current planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Transportation Monitoring Modernization
Fleet Safety · Transportation Technology
High Priority
About this project
The system currently lacks fleet safety technology — including dash cameras and telematics — creating an evidence gap in disputed incidents and exposing the institution to operational and liability risk. While no immediate crisis has occurred, this gap undermines accountability and risk management across the fleet.
The opportunity
Increased Safety & Security allocations within the approved FY2027 budget create a timely funding pathway for this initiative. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to reduce procurement friction, enabling a phased pilot rollout that builds the evidentiary record and strengthens institutional risk posture.
