Freedom of Information Act request

Name: Daniel Serrano

Affiliation: Withheld.

Location: UConn Storrs

Request Date Start: Withheld.

Request Date End: Withheld.

Details: Pursuant to the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. §1-200 et seq. (and §1-210(a)), I request copies of the following public records of the University of Connecticut — including the Storrs campus, the regional campuses, and UConn Health — for all fiscal years for which records are retained (at a minimum fiscal year 2012 through the present). Because the University's purchasing runs through its own financial systems rather than Core-CT, I am directing this request to the University rather than to a central state agency.

PART 1 — Purchase-order / invoice line-item detail:
A report or export of all purchase-order and invoice LINE ITEMS for purchases of supplies, materials, and commodities, LIMITED to cleaning, sanitation, maintenance, and chemical-consumable purchases — specifically these expense/commodity categories (or the University's equivalent classifications): premises/custodial cleaning supplies; personal hygiene supplies; laundry and cleaning supplies; building and grounds maintenance supplies (cleaning, degreasing, solvent, lubricant, paint/coating, and adhesive chemical products only); grounds, turf, and pest-control chemical products; laboratory supplies and medical supplies (chemical products and reagents only); de-icing and winter chemicals (including calcium chloride, sodium acetate, and snow/ice removal supplies); and any other category under which the University purchases cleaning, sanitation, disinfecting, degreasing, de-icing, pest-control, or laboratory chemical products.

For each line, please include: product/item description, manufacturer or brand, catalog/SKU/part number, quantity, unit of measure, unit price, extended (line) price, vendor, purchase-order number, and order/invoice date. A spreadsheet export from the University's financial system (CSV or Excel) is acceptable and preferred. If the full period cannot be produced at once, I ask that you produce it in installments (by fiscal year, most recent first) rather than narrowing the request.

PART 2 — Hazardous chemical inventory (OSHA Hazard Communication):
The current list/inventory of hazardous chemicals maintained under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200(e)) for University facilities — custodial, maintenance, grounds, fleet, and (where applicable) laboratory and clinical operations — and/or the index or table of contents of the facility Safety Data Sheet (SDS) libraries, showing product name and manufacturer for each entry (list/index only; not the full SDS documents).

I understand this is a relatively recent request and would like to clarify that my request is limited specifically to newly hired full-time employees since March 2026.

I am ONLY seeking public information that is clearly disclosable to me and not confidential by law, or otherwise protected, and exempted from disclosure under state law.

I understand there may be a cost associated with retrieving and copying these documents. Please provide me with an estimated list of fees if so and contact me if you have any questions or concerns about this request. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
