Babel Street, a global leader in mission-grade risk intelligence, today announced it has been awarded a contract by the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) to provide advanced preparedness solutions and related services to eligible Texas state and local government agencies.

Through this DIR contract, Texas agencies now have streamlined access to Babel Street’s AI-driven intelligence capabilities. The always-on platform continuously enhances situational awareness, detects emerging threats, and strengthens investigations and operational readiness across public safety, emergency management, and other mission-critical environments.

“Texas agencies are responsible for protecting communities in some of the most dynamic and high-growth environments in the country,” said McDaniel Wicker, Senior Vice President of Public Sector at Babel Street. “Critical risk signals often emerge outside traditional channels and across multiple languages. We’re proud to help Texas leaders detect those early indicators and act with greater speed and confidence.”

Babel Street delivers the early warning signals and trend intelligence that enables proactive risk mitigation with explainable, auditable insights designed for complex and high-risk environments. By transforming fragmented global information into operationally relevant insight, the platform empowers agencies to reduce blind spots, prioritize risk more effectively, and act with greater speed and confidence

The DIR Cooperative Purchasing Program streamlines the procurement process for state agencies, local governments, higher education institutions, K–12 organizations, and other eligible entities throughout Texas, allowing them to quickly access vetted technology solutions while reducing administrative overhead.
