Dear Camille Fassett,
This letter acknowledges receipt of your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), dated February 5, 2018, and received by this office on that same date. You are requesting a copy of contracts.
After careful review of your FOIA request, we determined that your request is too broad in scope or did not specifically identify the records which you are seeking. Records must be described in reasonably sufficient detail to enable government employees who are familiar with the subject area to locate records without placing an unreasonable burden upon the agency. For this reason, 6 C.F.R. Part 5 §5.3(b) of the DHS FOIA regulations require that you describe the records you are seeking with as much information as possible to ensure that our search can locate them with a reasonable amount of effort. In addition to the information provided, your request description should include the specific CBP contract numbers of interest. If such contracts exist, you may find the associated contract numbers via the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), which is accessible from https://www.fpds.gov/fpdsng_cms/; accessed on October 2, 2018. The FPDS allows for anyone to register and access records pertaining to all federal agency procurement actions, including the ability to run a variety of reports based on specified criteria. (https://www.fpds.gov/fpdsng_cms/)
This is not a denial of your request. Upon receipt of a perfected request, you will be advised as to the status of your request.
Your request has been assigned reference number CBP-2018-028826. Please refer to this identifier in any future correspondence.
