(Tier-1 corpus, [[NetMotion]] — Competitive Exemption_LRPD_NetMotion_2024_Approved.txt, p. 1) - **2024-10-08 through 2024-10-10** — Authored email replies in the Mullins-Sanders ↔ King thread regarding closure of Contract #1577 (the SHI Fusus contract) and transition to a direct-Axon Fusus contract. King: "We will have to treat this as a new agreement with a new contract number since C. 1577 is payable to SHI International."

(Tier-1 corpus, [[Cellebrite Advanced Services Agreement]] — LRPD_Cellebrite_Approved_10.17.24_Comp. Exemption Form.txt, p. 1) - **2024-10-24 through 2024-10-28** — Email thread with Cellebrite Inc. (Joe Gauthier, Alexandria Keller, Stephanie Yanez) and Carahsoft (Rebecca Walters) regarding the procurement-vehicle transition from direct Cellebrite quote to Carahsoft on OMNIA EDU R191902. (Tier-1 corpus, [[_overview]], Email with Carahsoft Regarding Vendor Info_10.28.24.txt) ## Notes - King's role as Senior Procurement Analyst in the Department of Finance | Procurement is the City-side procurement-administration function. She is the principal counterparty for LRPD Administrative Services Finance Manager [[Latreasa Mullins-Sanders]]. - King's signatures appear on multiple competitive-bid exemption forms (the only exception in the [[CLR-2026-778]] corpus being the i2 form signed by Vitesh Patel, Procurement Manager). The pattern suggests King is the standard approver for Mullins-Sanders-routed exemptions, while higher-dollar or Finance-Grants procurements may route through Vitesh Patel. - King's email correspondence with the Carahsoft account rep documents the procedural complexity of cooperative-purchasing vehicles: the contract had to be re-papered to name Carahsoft as the vendor rather than Cellebrite Inc., requiring King to "delete this current contract and create a new contract as we simply extended the previous contract, and it has always been under Cellebrite."
