To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Wyoming Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
• The current procedure for procuring personal protective equipment (PPE) on behalf of agencies and entities within the jurisdiction of this office. If this office manages PPE requests for county, local, or private entities, please also provide any guiding material for soliciting, receiving, organizing, and fulfilling those requests.
• Any bids placed by this agency for the acquisition of PPE for this office or on behalf of any entity within the jurisdiction of this agency.
• Any available spreadsheet or aggregate information related to bids for PPE. Please provide all available segregable data, including but not limited to the source, the quantity, and the success of the bid.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,

Good morning,
Our office has received your request. Please see the attached files. The
Wyoming Office of Homeland Security was directed by Governor Gordon to
purchase PPE to distribute to non-healthcare related businesses in the
state. The agency followed proper State of Wyoming procurement policies and
procedures. An Agency Bid Exception Approval (BEA) Request was submitted to
the procurement office and was approved. A copy of the request and a copy
of the approval email is attached.
Our office did not request any bids for PPE equipment.
Please let me know if you need additional information.

Hi Kelly,
Thank you so much for sending these materials. Would you be able to clarify for me whether the May 14 bid exception approval is the first day Wyoming Office of Homeland Security would have ordered PPE and whether any orders have been placed since then? I understand if it would be better for me to submit a separate request for this information.
Thanks so much for your help. I hope you have a great evening.
All the best,
Beryl

Good morning, No orders for bid were placed before this date. An Agency Bid
Exception Approval (BEA) Request was submitted to
the procurement office and was approved on May 12, so no bids were required
after the date.
If this is not what you want, please let me know specifically what you are
looking for.
