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 Farm Credit 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,

Mr. Joyce,
This email responds to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request dated May 21, 2024, to the Farm Credit Administration (FCA or Agency), which we received the same day. You requested “a list of all points of contact or contracting officers and their contact info for both simplified acquisitions and micro purchasing at Farm Credit covering the entire Agency.” We have assigned you FCA request tracking number FCA 24-057.
We have conducted a thorough search of the FCSIC’s records and located a spreadsheet responsive to your request, which is enclosed.
No search and review fees are charged because the search and review was de minimis.
If you are not satisfied with my response to this request, you may administratively appeal this determination within 90 days from the date of this letter. If you decide to appeal, your appeal should include a copy of your original FOIA request, a copy of this response letter, as well as a summary of the reasons supporting the appeal. The envelope should be clearly marked to indicate that it contains a “FOIA Appeal” and be addressed to: Director, Office of Agency Services, Farm Credit Administration, 1501 Farm Credit Drive, McLean, VA 22102-5090 or you may also submit your appeal via email to FOIAappeal@fca.gov<mailto:FOIAappeal@fca.gov>.

You may also contact the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to inquire about the FOIA mediation services they offer.

For your information, Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of FOIA. See 5 U.C.S. § 552(c) (2006 & Supp. IV (2010)). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that is given to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.
