described by a statute defining an offense, that a person is aware or should have been

aware that his conduct is of that nature or that the circumstance exists. Solicitation

mailing lists of potential contractors of such supplies, services, and construction shall

include, but shall not be limited to, such prequalified prospective contractors.
