Dear FOIA Officer,
I am submitting a request under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552) for documents related to the award of NRC Child Care Subsidy Program. The contract was awarded under Notice ID:31310023R0107 on Sep 19, 2023, by NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION, and the contract number is 31310023C0026.
Specifically, I request access to the following documents: 1. The full text of the winning proposal submitted for this contract, with minimal redactions to ensure the substance of the proposal is understandable and usable. 2. Copies of other shortlisted proposals (if applicable) that were evaluated during the selection process. My request is made in the context of academic research, conducted in collaboration with universities, aimed at examining procurement processes and decision-making criteria in government contracts, particularly in the area of 10/21/2024 OCTOBER 31, 2024 ENCLOSURE B
Tracking Number Requesters Name Requesters Organization Request Description Received Date FOIA-2025-000117 (continued) public infrastructure and operational services. The requested documents are essential for our research and will contribute to a better understanding of these processes. I understand that the FOIA permits withholding certain proprietary information (Exemption 4),
and I am open to receiving redacted versions where necessary. However, I respectfully request that redactions be kept to a minimum, in line with 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(8), which mandates that agencies release any reasonably segregable portion of a record after redacting the exempt portions.
Excessive redactions that render documents unusable undermine the intent of the FOIA to promote transparency. If there are ways to narrow the scope of my request to facilitate processing while still providing meaningful insight into the proposals, please let me know. I am willing to work with the agency to refine the request. Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, Akhila Chennamaneni.
