The databases are very important. Right now, we are having trouble identifying the participation rate of underrepresented groups and the number of contracts awarded to firms owned by underrepresented individuals. So we are working to address gaps in two areas.
First, we are building on the report filed in June 2018 and the work we have done since then. We realized that we did not have a policy in place that allows us to collect information about the companies we do business with. We are in the process of developing a policy that will give us that right.
Second, we need a system that can collect the information and save it. I mentioned earlier the e-procurement system, which allows us to collect that information. When the policy is in place, this system will allow us to get much more information about participation and contracts awarded to different groups.
