Nashville Fusus contract expires after council defers extension

The Metro Nashville Police Department entered a $175,000 sole source contract with Fusus on September 15, 2022, below the $250,000 threshold requiring council approval. Resolution RS2023-2380, aimed at amending the contract to $350,000 and extending it 12 months, was deferred indefinitely in subcommittees before the August 15, 2023 council meeting. The original contract expired on September 14, 2023. The report notes it is unclear what will happen to existing Fusus technology now that the contract has lapsed.
