This is a single source justification document submitted by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) in Florida for the procurement of extended data retention services for Flock Cameras over a 12-month period. The justification outlines JSO's requirement to maintain and retain camera data from their Flock system, which is essential for ongoing law enforcement operations and investigative purposes. The document establishes the technical and operational necessity for continuing this service without competitive bidding, indicating that the Flock extended data retention capability is integral to JSO's existing camera infrastructure and cannot be feasibly replaced or procured from alternative vendors without significant operational disruption.

The single source justification emphasizes that Flock's proprietary data retention system is the only practical solution available that integrates seamlessly with JSO's current Flock camera network. The incumbent vendor, Flock Safety, provides the exclusive means to maintain the extended data retention functionality required by JSO's investigative and public safety operations. This justification supports the procurement as a single source award, eliminating the need for competitive bidding and allowing JSO to proceed directly with contract execution to ensure continuity of critical public safety data retention services.
