Hello,

I am informing you that your MPD-8437 request is still being processed. But the data holders informed me that this request will take time and cost to process as they do not systematically capture the ballistic type supply information, so they have no way of compiling this information from the purchasing system without going through each invoice for various vendors that we may us. This is a manual process for each year you requested (01/01/2012 -present) and it is time consuming. I do not have the price quote for you at this time, but will let you know when the data holder provides me with the estimate cost. But be advised, there will be a cost for this request.

Let me know if you have questions.

Okay, thank you for letting me know. If the cost is too much and clearly it is going to take many hours please let me know and I would be more than happy to limit the scope of my request. Thank you!

Sincerely,
