I am not sure what you mean by type of contract to be quite honest. As I said in my request, it is a purchase order. I also included as many identification numbers as I could. Furthermore, Babel Street is a social media monitoring company. If you can more pointedly inform me of what information you need I would be more than happy to comply. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Curtis Waltman
From: Wassom, Leila (USMS)
I am trying to determine the purpose of the contract. Is it a procurement contract?

Good morning,
FOIA requests are processed in order of receipt, and I have a backlog of many requests received prior to yours to process. Therefore, it will be several months before you receive a response.
