Name - Maya Kumari

Affiliation - Georgia State University

I am requesting data on all purchase orders issued by the CT-University of Connecticut Health Center from January 1, 2021 to the present and valued at $5,000 or greater. I would like the data to include the following information for all departments that come under the CT-University of Connecticut Health Center:
Purchase order number (or similar identifier)
Purchase date
End date of the purchase order (where available)
Detailed description of the purchase made (including descriptions for each line item if applicable)

Ideally, this information can be provided in Excel or .csv format by exporting it from an existing agency database.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this request.
I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your response at your earliest convenience.
Thank you very much for your time and help.
