In 2017, the Commissioner of Administration established the first-ever enterprise goal for direct (8%) and indirect (12%) state spend with targeted group vendors. In 2018, the Commissioner of Administration again increased those goals.
| Direct Spend Goal | 10% |
| Overall Diverse Spend | 15% |
Payments made directly to vendors certified as Targeted Group, Economically Disadvantaged, or Veteran-Owned in the Minnesota Small Business Procurement Program.
Payments made directly or indirectly (through a prime contractor) to Woman-Owned or Minority-Owned business regardless of business size or certification.
In 2018, Admin launched a new system to track and report on targeted group spending at the subcontractor level. Admin is currently requesting vendors that are on state contracts with a value of over 500 million to report payments made to subcontractors.
