Grant FundingInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 16, 2026

The Sheriff’s Office is accepting a FY 2025 Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) award up to 103127.50, administered by the Reno Police Department, to purchase Cellebrite software licenses for the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Team. The goal is to collect, manage, and securely share digital evidence and mitigate cybersecurity threats, with the grant period running retroactively from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2028. This confirms Cellebrite as the chosen digital forensics platform for ICAC operations and signals a multi-year investment in digital evidence capabilities. Vendors in digital forensics, secure evidence management, storage, and cybersecurity can use this as incumbent intelligence and an entry point for offering complementary tools, training, and infrastructure (e.g., high-capacity storage, SIEM integration, or lab build-outs) that support expanded investigative workloads.

Pre-RFP

The FY27–FY28 budget sets a milestone to “finalize individual Department and Division Business Continuity Program plans, to improve operational resiliency to physical and cybersecurity incidents, by June 2027.” This indicates that the district is building or updating continuity and incident‑response plans tied to its operational technology (SCADA/DCS) and enterprise IT, without naming a specific tool or consultant. The Finance Department budget also notes rising IT support services, hardware, and software costs, and the capital program funds SCADA equipment and DCS/PLC replacements. This constellation suggests active planning but no fully decided solutions for continuity, cyber, and recovery. Vendors in IT resilience, cyber risk assessment, incident response planning, OT/SCADA security, and continuity management platforms can help structure the program, provide tabletop exercises, and align cyber controls with the district’s capital upgrades.

The work spans both physical and cybersecurity risk, touching SCADA, DCS, and enterprise IT; multipl...

Across HR, Fiscal Services, and IT budgets, Sage Oak funds a broad set of back-office systems: Sage Intacct for finance ($72,000 plus Intacct training), Stampli for AP automation, UKG for HR/payroll ($205,400), Tax1099.com for e-filing, OPS software, School Pathways, Finalsite/SchoolAdmin enrollment, Zoho, staffing management system, AWS-based server and data lake infrastructure, and various security and monitoring tools. Notes indicate some costs are "service fees for the Human Resources (HR) management system" and "marketing consultant services supporting data systems." The diversity of platforms and the AWS Data Lake Development line suggest an ongoing effort to integrate finance, HR, student information, and analytics systems into a cohesive data environment. Systems integrators, analytics vendors, and workflow automation providers can help rationalize the stack, build data pipelines, and improve reporting for leadership. Next steps include understanding which data and processes are currently fragmented and proposing integration and analytics projects that leverage their existing investments.

Intacct training budget under Professional Development indicates active implementation or optimizati...

Pre-RFP

The 2026-27 IT department budget for Sage Oak Charter Schools includes substantial planned spending on AI-focused initiatives and a large portfolio of SaaS and infrastructure tools. Notable items include a $300,000 allocation for "AI Academy (Carleen App Development)", an OpenAI ChatGPT Team account, MagicSchool.Ai, Otter AI, Gemini, Chatbase, and a $121,800 AWS Data Lake Development line, alongside many other instructional and operational platforms (Canvas, MasteryConnect, Tutor.com, Lightspeed, Google Workspace, Fortinet, School Pathways, etc.). These lines show a deliberate shift toward AI-powered instruction, automation, and data infrastructure, funded over the 2026-27 fiscal year with multi-year projections for growing IT spend. While some incumbent vendors are identified, much of the AI and data work (e.g., AI Academy, AWS data lake, various "outside contractors" and "staffing management system") suggests custom development and integration projects that are still being defined. This is a strong entry point for edtech and data vendors to discuss roadmap alignment, integration services, security, and training for AI tools with IT leadership.

The budget explicitly funds both student-facing AI tools and back-end data lake/integration work, im...
