If this agency does not have a contract with either of the named companies, please provide the equivalent agreement with the currently employed company.- If the contract(s) was cancelled, any and all materials related to its cancellation.- If the contract was cancelled, the statement from the university about cancellation.
Your request has been denied because, after a diligent search for the requested records, we have determined that the records do not exist.
