# 2023-03 Jonesboro Waives Competitive Bidding for Flock Expansion On 2023-03-21, the Jonesboro City Council passed Resolution `R-EN-067-2023`, approving additional Flock equipment and services and waiving competitive bidding. The resolution called Flock a sole-source provider because the added services needed to "interact and be compatible with the existing systems in the City of Jonesboro" ([[Jonesboro Flock Procurement Expansion Records 2023]], `Ck 150933 Flock Group $3000.pdf`, p. 15). ## Sources - [[Jonesboro Flock Procurement Expansion Records 2023]] ## Significance The resolution supplies Jonesboro's public procurement rationale for a packet that later paid for 34 Falcon LPR cameras, one Flex camera, implementation, and Advanced Search. It is a direct compatibility-based sole-source claim, distinct from Conway's documented effort to avoid saying "sole source."
