SBE/MBE Spending Allocation Goals by Account Code and NAICS Category

This dataset contains the State of Connecticut’s annual Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) spending allocation goals by three-digit NAICS industry category and State of Connecticut purchasing/account codes for goods and services for each fiscal year.

The goals support Connecticut’s spending allocation program under Public Act 25-168, Section 200, which replaces the prior fixed agency set-aside structure with annual, industry-based SBE and MBE spending allocation goals. The goals are intended to encourage agencies and organizations to include certified small and minority-owned firms in bidding and purchasing opportunities. These are aspirational statewide goals intended to support planning for good-faith efforts. They are not purchase-by-purchase quotas and do not replace existing procurement statutes, regulations, policies, purchasing authority, competition requirements, or award standards. 

For each mapped purchasing/account code, the dataset identifies the applicable three-digit NAICS code, the NAICS industry category description, and the SBE and MBE spending allocation goals. Agencies should use this dataset before making a purchase to identify the NAICS category and spending allocation goals associated with the purchasing/account code expected to be used.

This dataset is published by the Department of Administrative Services to promote transparency and support consistent implementation of Connecticut’s SBE/MBE spending allocation program across state agencies. This dataset will be updated annually.

USER GUIDANCE
Agencies should:
1.	Identify the purchasing/account code expected to be used for the purchase.
2.	Locate the account code in the dataset.
3.	Review the mapped three-digit NAICS code and industry category.
4.	Review the SBE and MBE spending allocation goals for that NAICS category.
5.	Before completing the purchase, consider whether certified SBE/MBE vendors are available for the product or service and, if applicable, include them in outreach efforts.
6.	Document good faith efforts when entering purchase orders or requisitions within Core-CT or other established protocols for agencies that do not use Core-CT.
Agencies should not force an account code to fit a purchase. If the purchasing/account code does not appear to fit the purchase, agencies should consult fiscal or procurement staff. If the mapping appears unclear or the purchase is unusual, agencies should seek guidance from DAS.

COVID-19 Cases by Vaccination Status - ARCHIVE

Note: As of 10/28/2021 this dataset is no longer being updated. For more information about COVID-19 cases by vaccination status, visit the Department of Public Health's daily report here: https://data.ct.gov/stories/s/q5as-kyim 

Cases of COVID-19 by vaccination status by weekly reporting period. 

All data in this report are preliminary; data for previous dates will be updated as new reports are received and data errors are corrected.

Since February 2021, cases of COVID-19 among fully vaccinated persons (e.g., vaccine breakthrough cases) were identified based on a medical provider report to DPH identifying such cases. Recently, DPH developed a process that matches COVID-19 case data with the vaccine registry to determine which cases meet the definition of being fully vaccinated and are also vaccine breakthrough cases. A case of COVID-19 in a fully vaccinated person (e.g., vaccine breakthrough case) is defined as a person who has a positive PCR/NAAT or antigen test in a respiratory specimen collected ≥14 days after completing the final dose of an FDA-authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine series and who did not have a previously positive COVID-19 test <45 days prior to the positive test currently under investigation. This newer process provides more accurate and complete data on the vaccine status of persons who have tested positive for COVID-19.
Broadband Data by Town - 2024

<span style='font-family:&quot;Avenir Next&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;; font-size:16px;'>The Connecticut Broadband Availability and Adoption Maps were created to help citizens and policymakers understand the strengths and weaknesses of broadband infrastructure in the state. Data is aggregated to the block, tract, and town (county subdivision) levels and includes counts of locations classified as unserved, underserved, and served as well as whether they meet the state goal of 1000Mbps/100Mbps. This feature layer includes all OPM collected data at the town level.</span>
Adoptions by SFY, DCF Office, Gender and Length of Stay

This dataset contains aggregate data concerning the number of children that exited DCF care to an Adoption.  These figures are broken out by the DCF Region and Office responsible for the child's care, by their Gender, and by whether their exit from care occurred within 24 months of their entry to care or not.  It would be appropriate to roll up the data from all variables across multiple time periods, as they represent specific events in the lives of these children.  Please note that these figures do not represent unique children, and so should not be used as the basis for creating a rate based on the child population of the state.  These data form the basis of measurement for the Juan F. Consent Decree Exit Plan Outcome #8: Adoption Within 24 Months, although those figures are reported to the DCF Court Monitor on a quarterly rather than annual schedule.

Trail

DEEP Trails Set:

Trail Access Points are point features in the Statewide Trails Database that describe where trails are accessed at trail heads, state and municipal parks and forests, or other points of departure. Trail Points of Interest are point features in the Statewide Trails Database that describe where there are scenic overlooks, bridges, river crossings or other historic or geologic sites of interest along trails. These features are directly located along trails and do not describe amenities commonly found on park grounds such as parking areas, picnic areas, and restrooms. Trail Point of Interest features are optional. Trails are line features in the Statewide Trails Database that describe the location of single and multi-use trails, access trails, connector trails, and regional trails. These features may also describe bike routes along public roads and their relationship with connecting multi-use paved trails used for walking, running, inline-skating, and bicyling, for example. Trail features describe hiking trails, nature trails, bike routes, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible trails such as certain walkways, boardwalks and stone dust surfaced trails. Individual trail features are described in terms of their surface type (unpaved, paved, unpaved road, paved road, etc.) and whether activities such as hiking, walking, running, inline skating, bicycling, mountain biking, motorbiking, all terraine vehicle use, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding are permitted. Also indicates whether leashed or unleashed dogs are allowed. Roadway line features are optional features in the Statewide Trails Database used to place a trail system in context with nearby park roads or park entrance. They are very simple line features used to represent driveways, park roads, forest roads, and occasionally public roads on or along the public property where the trail system exists. Roadway line features are optional. They are not used for mapping bike routes. Trail line features are used for mapping bike routes.

Discharged Children With Permanency Maintained 12 Months:  Annual Trend By Gender

This dataset contains aggregate data concerning the number of child placement episodes that ended with a legal discharge from DCF care, and for whom the end of a 12 month observation period (starting with their legal discharge date) terminated during the SFY.  These figures are broken out by the DCF Region and Office responsible for the child's care, by their Gender, and by whether another placement episode for that child began within 12 months of their discharge from care or not.  It would be appropriate to roll up the data from all variables across multiple time periods, as they represent specific events in the lives of these children.  These data form the basis of measurement for the Juan F. Consent Decree Exit Plan Outcome #11: Permanency Maintained (No Re-Entry), although those figures are reported to the DCF Court Monitor on a quarterly rather than annual schedule.
Adoptions by SFY, DCF Office, Age at Adoption and Length of Stay

These figures are broken out by the DCF Region and Office responsible for the child's care, by their Age Group (at exit), and by whether their exit from care occurred within 24 months of their entry to care or not.  It would be appropriate to roll up the data from all variables across multiple time periods, as they represent specific events in the lives of these children.  Please note that these figures do not represent unique children, and so should not be used as the basis for creating a rate based on the child population of the state.

Substantiated Children With Safety Maintained 6 Months:  Annual Trend By Gender

This dataset contains aggregate data concerning the number of children with substantiated abuse/neglect reports, and for whom the end of a 6 month observation period (starting with either the date the substantiated report had been accepted, or the specific incident date if one was provided) terminated during the SFY.  These figures are broken out by the DCF Region and Office responsible for the child's care, by their Gender, and by whether another report of substantiated abuse/neglect occurred within 12 months of the first substantiation or not.  It would be appropriate to roll up the data from all variables across multiple time periods, as they represent specific events in the lives of these children.  These data form the basis of measurement for the Juan F.

Pension Funding Information For Defined Benefit Pension Plans of Connecticut Municipalities, compiled by the CT Office of Policy and Management in the annual Municipal Fiscal Indicators report.

Post-employment benefits are typically provided by municipalities to former employees or their beneficiaries as compensation for services rendered while these employees were still active. These benefits are generally divided into two broad categories – pension benefits (retirement income) and Other Post-employment Benefits (postemployment benefits other than pensions, referenced as OPEB). Forms of OPEB typically include healthcare benefits and benefits such as disability and life insurance provided outside of the pension plan.
