ProPublica has this on HUD's contract for the system for processing and tracking FOIA requests. The contract ran out during the government shutdown and hasn't yet been renewed - so the agency is scrambling to process and track FOIA requests. One would think that managing an agency and its FOIA program should be easier than brain surgery, however it appears that this may not be the case.

I came across this as I was wondering why I had not received a reply after having been in contact with a rep. But, I also have not received a reply from Soc. Sec.-who doesn't use this system. Quite disappointing to find that inquiries are frequently ignored.
