To the extent any portion of the requested records is exempt from disclosure, we ask that the remaining non-exempt segregable portions be released.

For full transparency, this request is for commercial purposes. We will gladly adhere to any policies or procedures University of Connecticut-Avery Point has in place for public records requests, and are open to narrowing, clarifying, or modifying the request to make fulfillment easier on your end.

Affiliation - Acme Research

Under the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, we formally request that your office provide us with public spending information, including both capital and operating expenditures, for payments made by or on behalf of The University of Connecticut Health Center during fiscal year 2026. Specifically, for any payee other than a regular employee or student paid a cumulative total amount of more than $5,000, we seek the payee name, address and the cumulative total dollar
amount paid to the subject payee over the relevant time period. The $5,000 threshold was established to minimize reporting for respondents. This is the same information that your office was kind enough to provide via email for fiscal year 2025.

The information is to be used for research aimed at identifying patterns of spending by public entities. No part of the data will be used as a mailing list and your supplying the information cannot be construed as an endorsement of either your payees or our work.
We are willing to reimburse your office for any reasonable expense incurred in preparing the requested information if an estimate of costs is provided for our approval before the work is performed. We would prefer to receive the data in CSV, text, PDF document, Excel spreadsheet attached to an email, via our file sharing website to our secure server, or on PC-formatted media sent by mail.

Should you have questions or need to advise us to redirect this request, we can be reached at 800-810-3846 or via e-mail at HigherEd@acmeresearch.com. Kindly confirm receipt of this letter and contact our office to let us know your time frame for a response. Thank you for your assistance!
