         Quarterly the director of each agency and department of state
      government shall review the agency's or department's anticipated
      purchasing requirements.  The directors shall notify the director of

      and recommended procurements with unit quantities and total costs for
      procurement contracts designated to satisfy the targeted small

      year and quarterly thereafter.  The directors may divide the
      procurements so designated into contract award units of economically
      feasible production runs to facilitate offers or bids from targeted
      small businesses.  In designating procurements intended to satisfy
      the targeted small business procurement goal, the directors may vary
      the included procurements so that a variety of goods and services
      produced by different targeted small businesses may be procured each
      year.  The director of the department of economic development, in
      conjunction with the director of the department of management, shall
      review the information submitted and may require modifications from
      the agencies and departments.

      basis, and a school district shall, on an annual basis, review the
      community college's, area education agency's, or school district's
      anticipated purchasing requirements.  A community college, area
      education agency, or school district shall notify the department of
      education, which shall report to the department of economic
      development, of their anticipated purchases and recommended
      procurements with unit quantities and total costs for procurement
      contracts designated to satisfy the targeted small business
      procurement goal not later than August 15 of each fiscal year and
