Tupelo council approves procurement items including sole-source Cellebrite letter and equipment bids
Summary
Tupelo’s council approved a sole-source letter for Cellebrite (NMMU) and multiple procurement awards — a municipal truck and an Aquatic Center pool liner — in unanimous votes at its Jan. 6 meeting.
At its Jan. 6 meeting, the Tupelo City Council approved several procurement and operational items, including a sole-source letter for Cellebrite (for NMMU) and awards for city equipment and facility repairs.
The presiding officer introduced approving Cellebrite as a sole-source letter for NMMU and described the item as routine. After a motion and second, the council approved the sole-source letter unanimously.
Councilors also approved a bid award for a new 'do all' truck (Bid No. 2025-043PW). The presiding officer called for discussion; none was recorded, a motion was made and seconded, and the council voted unanimously to approve the award.
Separately, the council approved the award for a pool liner for the Tupelo Aquatic Center after a motion and second and recorded unanimous consent. The council also approved an interlocal arrangement allowing Lee County fire departments to use the Tupelo Fire Department Training Center.
The meeting record does not include dollar amounts, vendor names (beyond the Cellebrite reference) or roll-call tallies; votes were announced as unanimous. The transcript does not record additional conditions or contingencies tied to the awards.
