Hello Ms. DeVillier,
This request was initially sent to the Mayor's Office, though that route was taken in order to cover possible materials held by other city agencies. Please let me know if further clarification is needed. Happy Sunshine Week!
Thank you!

Beryl:
Thanks for the clarification that this FOIA request was initially sent to the Mayor’s Office and then forwarded to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) on Wednesday, March 18, 2015.
Based upon my review of the request below, it appears that you are seeking contracts and MOU’s entered into by the “District of Columbia for services and activities related to the D.C. Correctional Treatment Facility (https://www.cca.com/facilities/correctional-treatment-facility)” (CCA).
Please note that the OCME is not the repository for all contracts and MOU’s entered into by the District of Columbia. Moreover, the CCA is not a subordinate agency to the OCME and we would therefore not maintain contracts or MOU’s on behalf of that agency.
Contracts entered into on behalf of the District are generally maintained by the District of Columbia Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP). The contact information to file a FOIA request with the OCP is as follows:
Nancy Hapeman
441 4th Street NW
Washington, DC 20001
nancy.hapeman@dc.gov<mailto:nancy.hapeman@dc.gov>
Phone: (202) 727-0252
Additionally, I have not identified any contracts or MOU’s between the OCME and the CCA that could be deemed responsive to your request. Therefore, this FOIA request will be marked as “closed.”
If you wish to discuss further please contact me directly at the telephone number listed below.
Sincerely,
/s/

If, for any reason, you interpret this to be a denial of your request, please also know that, under D.C. Official Code § 2-537 and 1 DCMR 412, you have the right to appeal this letter to the Mayor or to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. If you elect to appeal to the Mayor, your appeal must be in writing and contain “Freedom of Information Act Appeal” or “FOIA Appeal” in the subject line of the letter as well on the outside of the envelope. The appeal must include (1) a copy of the original request; (2) a copy of any written denial; (3) a statement of the circumstances, reasons, and/or arguments advanced in support of disclosure; and (4) a daytime telephone number, and e-mail and/or U.S. Mail address at which you can be reached. The appeal must be mailed to: The Mayor’s Correspondence Unit, FOIA Appeal, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 316, Washington, D.C. 20004. Electronic versions of the same information can instead be e-mailed to The Mayor’s Correspondence Unit at foia.mayor@dc.gov<mailto:foia.mayor@dc.gov>. Further, a copy of all appeal materials must be forward to the Freedom of Information Officer of the involved agency or to the agency head of that agency if there is no designated Freedom of Information Officer there. Failure to follow these administrative steps will result in delay in the processing and commencement of a response to your appeal to the Mayor.
