This request applies to all categories of supplies purchased—regardless of type, funding source, or site—during this period.
For each purchase order, I specifically request the following details:
Purchase Order (PO) number, Date of order, Line-item descriptions, Brand/manufacturer name (if listed),
Quantity purchased per item, Unit price per item, Total cost of the PO, Vendor name, email, and phone number (if available)
I want to emphasize that this request is only meaningful if the records contain detailed line-item data, including product descriptions, brand names, quantity, and unit pricing. Summary data or aggregated totals will not be useful for the intended purpose of this request.
