From: David Joyce
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
I request a list of all points of contact or contracting officers and their contact info for both simplified acquisitions and micro purchasing at OPM covering the entire Agency. If too broad, a list of all those with procurement or purchasing authority will suffice.
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 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
David Joyce

Dear David Joyce:
Regarding your request " request a list of all points of contact or contracting officers and their contact info for both simplified acquisitions and micro purchasing at OPM covering the entire Agency. If too broad, a list of all those with procurement or purchasing authority" your request will be denied in full. The release of records that aggregate and offer in a centralized form the phone numbers and/or email addresses of government employees could subject those individuals to unwarranted or unsolicited communications. Therefore, this type of information would be denied under FOIA exemption 6, which protects information in which individuals have a privacy interest. Our office can process your request with a full denial , or would you like to withdraw your request.
Sincerely,

Explain to me outside of corruption how one at the agency does this type of business? Perhaps you can explain why several other agencies gave me the info without hiding behind exemption 6?

Dear David Joyce:
I apologize for the delay in response. This email acknowledges receipt of your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Your request was received on May 17, 2024 and was assigned tracking number 24-OPM-0550-f. You requested the following:
" [ I ] request a list of all points of contact or contracting officers and their contact info for both simplified acquisitions and micro purchasing at OPM covering the entire Agency. If too broad, a list of all those with procurement or purchasing authority will suffice.
The FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A)(i), requires OPM to make a determination in response to a FOIA request within 20 business days from its date of receipt. In unusual circumstances, the federal agency time limit may be extended by 10 business days as stated in 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(B). If your request seeks numerous documents that will necessitate a wide-ranging search, including searches of multiple program offices and possible consultations with agencies that have a substantial interest in the determination of this request, OPM will invoke a 10 business-day extension for determination of your request. You have the option to narrow the scope of your request to limit the number of potentially responsive documents.
Provisions of the FOIA allow OPM to recover part of the cost of complying with your request. For purposes of fee assessment, you have been categorized as a "all other" requester. 5 C.F.R § 294.103(d). In this fee category, you are responsible for search costs incurred after the first 2 free hours and for duplication costs after the first 100 pages of records are copied free. 5 C.F.R § 294.109(b) and (c). No fee will be assessed if the total charge for fulfilling the request will be less than $25. 5 C.F.R § 294.109(d)(1).
A search will be initiated by OPM for records responsive to your request. If any responsive records are located, they will be reviewed for determination of releasability. Please be assured that a FOIA Analyst in this office will respond to your request as expeditiously as possible. We appreciate your patience as we proceed with your request.
If you have any questions regarding your request, please contact FOIA Specialist Camille Aponte-Rossini at 202-936-0097 or Camille.Aponte-Rossini@opm.gov<mailto:Camille.Aponte-Rossini@opm.gov> .
For additional information regarding OPM's FOIA program, please refer to the information available on our website at https://www.opm.gov/information-management/freedom-of-information-act/.
