Is there a fee for records?
There may be a fee depending on the size of the request. We’re allowed to charge a fee for the actual cost of the search, examination, review, deletion and separation of exempt from nonexempt information, and duplication of records.
How will the record be provided?
We’ll provide the requested records electronically whenever possible. If the files are too large to send electronically, we’ll transfer the records to a thumb drive and mail them to you via standard USPS mail.
When will I receive a response?
You’ll receive a response within five business days. In some cases, we may extend this period to ten days. If a fee is required, the response may be in the form of an invoice. Full payment is required before the requested records are released.
Who can I contact if I have questions?
The Central Procurement FOIA Liaison is available Monday-Friday, from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Eastern.
