(a)
(1) Before April 1 of each year, each state agency shall compile and submit to the chief procurement officer and the comptroller of the treasury, a written acquisition plan for the upcoming fiscal year forecasting the specific categories and quantities of goods and services anticipated for purchase by the state agency. The chief procurement officer shall develop procedures to ensure uniformity among the various state agencies both in the manner of calculating such forecasts and in the style and format used for submitting such written acquisition plans to the chief procurement officer. The information contained within such forecasts shall be based on good faith estimates and shall not be construed in any way to legally bind or authorize the state agency to make any purchase in conflict with the other requirements of this chapter.
(2) This subsection (a) shall not apply to those entities exempt from this chapter pursuant to § 12-3-102.
(b) Before July 1 of each year, the chief procurement officer shall compile and publish the written acquisition plans submitted by the various agencies pursuant to subsection (a), within an annual report that shall be entitled “The Forecast of Acquisition Plans for State Departments and Agencies for Fiscal Year _____—_____.” A copy of the report shall be posted on the central procurement office's website.
(c) It is the duty of all state agencies to furnish to the central procurement office, upon request, data relating to purchases and purchase estimates.
(d) An agency is permitted to amend or supplement its written acquisition plan before the end of a given fiscal year for unforeseen circumstances pursuant to rules, regulations and policies approved by the commission.
