We prepare and file your company’s FOIA requests with the federal agency that holds the file: awarded contracts, inspection files, enforcement records and more. We scope the request, file it the way each agency takes requests, and track it to a response. Miami office, English and Spanish.
Yes. Under federal law, a “person” includes partnerships, corporations, associations and public or private organizations, not only individuals. Your company can request federal records in its own name.
What changes is the fee. When records are requested for commercial use, the agency may charge for search, duplication and review. As a general rule, you do not have to explain why you want the records.
You want to see the awarded contract, and nobody is sure what can be requested.
You want its federal inspection history and do not know which agency to ask.
More than one agency oversees your industry, and the file could be at any of them.
Each request takes internal hours, and nobody follows up when the agency goes quiet.
The employer falls under a state plan, so a federal request goes nowhere.
An agency plans to release information your company gave it, and the notice is hard to read.
What we do: We request the contract and its documents. Competitors' proposals are not released under FOIA unless they were incorporated into the contract.
What we do: We request the inspection file from the agency that inspects that industry, such as OSHA, with the inspection details.
What we do: We confirm which agency holds the file before anything is filed.
What we do: We scope the request so the agency can search it, and we do the follow-up.
What we do: We send the request to the state plan, which holds the file.
What we do: We explain, for information only, what predisclosure notice under Executive Order 12600 is.
The contract, inspection, enforcement action or file, and which company or program it concerns.
Each one has its own portal or address for requests.
It must reasonably describe the records.
If the records are for commercial use, in that fee category.
You hear from us at each step and when the agency responds.
If you decide to, we prepare the administrative appeal on time.
The awarded contract can be requested. What the statute excludes are proposals a contractor submits in a competitive solicitation: they are not released under FOIA unless they were incorporated into the contract or referenced in it.
So a competitor’s technical or price proposal is off the table through this route. Challenging an award is a separate procedure, and we do not handle it: that is a matter for a licensed attorney.
| Agency | What it typically holds | How it takes requests |
|---|---|---|
| OSHA (Department of Labor) | Workplace safety inspection files | By email with the inspection details, or through the National FOIA Portal. If the employer is under a state plan, the request goes to the state plan. |
| EPA | Environmental files | Through its FOIA Public Access Link, as its submission page explains. |
| FDA | Product, facility and inspection files | Through its online form or FOIA.gov; no fax or email. |
| SEC | Securities regulator records | Through its online form or portal. |
| FTC | Trade commission records | Through its FOIA portal or FOIA.gov. |
| SBA | Small business program records | Through its dedicated requests site. |
| GSA | Government purchasing and services records | Through its Public Access Link, FOIA.gov or email. |
| OFAC (Treasury) | Sanctions office records | No channel of its own: requests go to Treasury’s Departmental Offices. |
The FDA treats requests for 510(k), PMA and De Novo records as complex requests that take a long time to process. OSHA’s FOIA page is at osha.gov/foia.
This section is for information only. We do not advise on how to protect your company’s information.
Objecting to a release, or taking it to court, is a matter for a licensed attorney.
The statute gives the agency 20 working days to decide, extendable by up to 10 working days in unusual circumstances; the deadline covers the decision, not the release. We cannot promise when the agency will respond.
For commercial use, the agency may charge for search, duplication and review. Our own fee is separate from any agency charge.
Expedited processing is limited to a compelling need as the statute defines it, such as an imminent threat to someone’s life or physical safety, and it must be shown in a statement certified as true and correct. A business deadline on its own does not qualify under that definition.

Consultants, law firms and in-house legal teams can hand us these requests. The request clearly names the client company it is made for; if it does not, courts have held that the client cannot sue over it later.
Yes. The statute’s definition of “person” includes partnerships, corporations and associations.
Not under FOIA, except any part incorporated into or referenced in the contract.
Yes, we request it with its documents. What is not released are proposals that were not incorporated into it.
It is the category for requests made for a commercial purpose. The agency may charge for search, duplication and review.

Trade secrets and commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential.
The notice an agency gives a company that submitted confidential commercial information before releasing it.
The agency has 20 working days to decide, extendable by 10 more. We cannot promise when it will respond.
