Dear Sir/Madam:

We are in receipt of your request for "all materials related to social media ad buys for the recruiting purposes associated with any branch of the U.S. Military or Department of Defense.[particularly] indicating how much money was spent on these ad buys, and what demographics were targeted by the ads."

Our activity - NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk, Philadelphia Detachment (FLC Phila) - provides procurement support to the Department of the Navy. Therefore, your request is overly broad. Any records we hold that could conceivably be responsive to your request would solely be of a procurement nature (i.e., Contracts awarded by our activity to contractors involved in recruiting). Therefore, kindly clarify whether such records (i.e., Contracts for recruiting procurements) would be responsive to your request. Additionally, if such records are responsive , it would be very helpful if you could provide a specific timeframe encompassed by your request (e.g., recruiting contracts issued by FLC Phila within the past five years).

Kindly contact me if you wish to discuss this.

Thank you for your courtesies.

Respectfully Submitted,

Twanda V. Tomlinson
Government Information Specialist
