VENDOR COMPLIANCE WITH RECIPROCITY ON

NON- RESIDENT BIDDERS

Texas Government Code Section 2252.002 provides that in order for nonresident bidders to be awarded a governmental contract, the bidder must bid projects for construction, improvements, supplies, or services in Texas at an amount lower than the lowest Texas resident bidder by the same amount that a Texas resident bidder would be required to underbid the nonresident bidder in order to obtain a comparable contract in the nonresident bidder’s state. A nonresident bidder is a person, including a contractor, whose principal place of business or corporate office is outside of the state of Texas.

This requirement does not apply to a contract involving Federal funds. The appropriate blanks in Section A must be filled out by all nonresident bidders in order for your bid to meet specifications.

The failure of a nonresident bidder to do so will automatically disqualify that bidder. Resident bidders must check the blank in Section B.

A. Non-resident vendors in ________________________(give state), our principal place of business, are required to be ____________percent lower than resident bidders by state law.
