December 20, 2013 Mr. Jason Smathers MuckRock News DEPT MR 9117 PO Box 55819 Boston, MA 02205-5819 Dear Mr. Smathers: This letter is in response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request (GSA number 261068), dated November 20, 2013, in which you requested “a copy of the contents of the administrative processing/tracking folder/file associated with the May 28, 2013 FOIA request from Kaitlin Devine at the Sunlight Foundation to GSA seeking an electronic copy of the FedBizOpps database. I also request a copy of any emails associated with the processing of the request. You may restrict this request to records dated from May 28, 2013 through November 10, 2013.” Enclosed please find a portion of the documents responsive to your request. The document enclosed is the workflow report generated by the Intranet Quorum (IQ) system for the FOIA request from Kaitlin Devine at the Sunlight Foundation (GSA number 252047). The report includes the following information: requester’s name (primary person), date received (created), due date, people associated with the request (people), GSA employees associated with the request (agency contacts), internal GSA codes (workflow codes), description of the request (comments), and the process of the FOIA from start to finish (workflow). We have included a screen shot of our system to provide clarity to the information enclosed. This is a partial release of records and not a denial of records, we will continue to process your request and will provide the documents associated with the IQ report as well as the emails when they are ready. In processing your request, we withheld entries that contained attorney-client privileged information. This is done in accordance with the fifth exemption of FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(5). Additionally, we withheld personally identifying information to include a phone number extension in accordance with the sixth exemption of FOIA, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6). This is done because public disclosure of this information would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

You have the right to appeal the denial of the information withheld. To do so, you must write within 120 days of your receipt of this letter to:

U.S. General Services Administration FOIA Requester Service Center (H1C)

Your appeal should contain a brief statement of the reasons why you believe the requested information should be released. Enclose a copy of your initial request and a copy of this letter. Both the appeal letter and envelope should be marked prominently, "Freedom of Information Act Appeal." Should you have any questions, please contact me at (202) 219-3078 or [email protected].
