Section III-2103 - Annual Report to Legislature

A. Not later than August 31 of each year, OMBE shall submit to the Governor and the legislature a cumulative annual report, detailing the progress being made throughout the state towards minority participation in the state's procurement activities.

B. This report shall contain, for each department, a detailed listing of minority participation by category of expenditure, including a comparison of actual activity to the established annual plan amounts. This data shall be collected from the quarterly reports submitted by the agencies, and the annual report shall clearly indicate that all data is as reported by the agencies themselves.

C. The annual report shall also contain a separate listing of those agencies that have not complied with the reporting requirements of these rules, and a listing of agencies in which minority participation in procurement activity is below 5 percent.

D. The report shall contain a narrative description of activities undertaken by OMBE and/or other state agencies to encourage minority participation in the state's procurement activities, and an identification of barriers to full minority participation with suggested corrective measures.

E. OMBE shall also include performance indicators, reflecting the total number of certified minority vendors; the percentage increase or decrease in minority vendor certifications completed during the previous year; and such other data as might allow the legislature and the governor to assess the effectiveness of the minority set-aside program in achieving its intended goals.
