The meeting notice includes discussion and possible action regarding smart meters and related customer accounts, including potential award and installation. This points to upcoming decisions on AMI/AMR water meters and data systems, with no specific vendor named yet. Meter manufacturers, AMI platforms, and integration consultants should engage early on scope, network design, and how to tie meter data into billing and Fleetzoom or other monitoring tools.
Agenda references customer accounts, smart meters, hydrants and valves together, indicating a broader metering and distribution asset initiative.

Government opportunities from other agencies that match this category and scope.
The budget addenda lists 'Contract Services' under Southern University at New Orleans Campus Information Technology at $170,000 in the 2026-2027 operating budget. This line reflects outsourced IT services, but no vendor or scope is named. The same row shows $231,320 under Prior Year Actual 2025-2026, so the campus carried a continuing external services need into the next budget cycle. This is useful as incumbent and future scope intelligence for FY2027-2028 planning.
The account name is "Hardware Maintenance" under Higher Education - Southern University Baton Rouge Campus. The line showed $42,567 in 2025-2026 prior year actual and no amount in the 2026-2027 operating budget. This indicates prior paid maintenance on IT equipment, with the support line now removed or shifted, but the document does not identify the covered assets or incumbent.
The line is Student Technology Fees - Software Acquisitions on Form BOR-7. Southern University at Shreveport listed $15,000 for FY 2026-2027 software acquisitions within its student technology fee plan. The budget shows planned funding but no selected supplier. This creates an early campus software buying signal tied to the student technology fee program.
