Dear Ms. Urso,
Your amended request was received by this office on March 31, 2021. However, the description you provided is still too broad to enable us to conduct a search. As stated in our previous letters, you must identify the office or component of DHS which you believe maintains the records you seek and the title, authors, or at a minimum, sufficiently specific keywords to enable the Department to conduct a search. In the case of records related to contracts, you must provide the contract number(s) in which you are interested. You can find a list of DHS’s operational and support components and descriptions of their missions/roles here (https://www.dhs.gov/operational-and-support-components) , and you may search for contract numbers using this online system (https://sam.gov/content/home).
Your case 2021-HQFO-00698 remains administratively closed. If you are able to narrow your request using the above guidance, you may resubmit.
Regards,
DHS Privacy Office

I have narrowed the scope of this FOIA request months ago and I still have no gotten any response. At this point I think you are trying to evade your FOIA responsibilities. Can anyone respond or process this?
