Good morning,
Thank you for your response to this request. I have received the invoice. I am wondering if the bid itself is exempt from release, and if it is under what exemption? Or is it simply not in the possession of the Department of Business and Economic Affairs? Thank you for your help!
Sincerely,

What bid are you speaking about?

Pardon me, I meant the Amazon proposal. But I can see that the proposal has already been published.
Thank you
