B. A catalogue shall be prepared by the Department on a periodic basis which
describes all articles and supplies manufactured and produced by persons
confined in state correctional facilities. Copies of the catalogue shall be sent
to all departments, institutions and agencies of the Commonwealth mandated to
purchase such articles and supplies. At least thirty days before the
commencement of each fiscal year, the proper official of each department,
institution and agency of the Commonwealth shall report to the Division of

required by it for the ensuing year. Such estimates shall refer to the catalogue
issued by the Director insofar as the articles and supplies indicated are
