FLGISA Critical Infrastructure Resilience Program (CIRP)

The Florida Department of Management Services has entered into a state-funded grant agreement, identified as DMS-26/27-052, with the Florida Local Government Information Systems Association for the development and implementation of the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Program. This initiative is supported by a 500,000 dollar appropriation from the General Revenue Fund for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The program is designed to enhance critical infrastructure resilience through the procurement of deployable response equipment and the acquisition of professional services, including responder training, part-time program administration, and general operations. A key component of the scope involves establishing the necessary legal and governance frameworks to ensure the safe fielding of volunteers. The agreement includes a performance period that concludes on June 30, 2027. According to the Departmental Purchasing Cost Analysis and Risk Assessment, the project has been determined to be allowable, reasonable, and necessary, receiving a low total risk rating of 9.
