that provided goods or services that were included in an accredited

3) for each identified material vendor, a
statement as to whether the vendor is a minority owned business or a female
owned business, as defined under Section 2 of the Business Enterprise for
Minorities, Females, and Persons with Disabilities Act, which the Department
will determine by comparing the vendors it has identified as providing goods or
services that were included in an accredited production's Illinois production
spending with the database of minority owned businesses and female owned
businesses maintained by the Department of Central Management Services;
and
4) a description of any steps
taken by the Department to encourage accredited productions to use vendors who
