Addendum:

RECIPROCAL LIMITATIONS ACT REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION

Provision Body:

I. REQUIREMENTS AND DISCRIMINATING STATES -

(a) States Which Apply Preference Favoring In-State Bidders. The Reciprocal Limitations Act, Act 146 of 1986, requires the Commonwealth agencies to give resident bidders a preference against a nonresident bidder from any state that gives or requires a preference to bidders from that state. The amount of the preference will be equal to the amount of the preference applied by the state of the nonresident bidder. The following is a list of the states which have been found by the Commonwealth agencies to have applied a preference for in-state bidders and the amount of the preference:

STATE PREFERENCE

1. Arizona 5% (construction materials from Arizona resident dealers only)

2. Montana 3%

3. Wyoming 5%

(b) States Which Prohibit Use of Out-of-State Goods, Supplies, Equipment, or Materials. The Reciprocal Limitations Act also requires that the Commonwealth agencies not specify, use, or purchase any goods, supplies, equipment, or materials which are produced, manufactured, mined, or grown in any state that prohibits the specification, use, or purchase of such items in or on its public buildings or other works, when such items are not produced, manufactured, mined, or grown in that state. The following is a list of the states which have been found by the Commonwealth agencies to have prohibited the use of out-of-state goods, supplies, equipment, materials, or bidders and the type of prohibition:

STATE PROHIBITION

1. Georgia Forest Products Only

2. New Mexico Construction

3. New Jersey Chain Link Fence, Portable Sanitation Units, Storage Batteries, Hardware Supplies, Fasteners, Lumber, Building Supplies

If a bid discloses that the bidder is offering to supply the above listed products from the states listed above, it will be rejected.

Contractors are prohibited from supplying these items from these states.

II. CALCULATION OF PREFERENCE -

July 31, 2026 06:35:08 AM Page 13 of 71

In calculating the preference, the amount of a bid submitted by a Pennsylvania resident bidder will be reduced by the percentage preference which would be given to a nonresident bidder by its state of residency, only for the purpose of determining the apparent low bidder.

III. FOREST OR LUMBER PRODUCTS -

If the project requires the Contractor to provide forest or lumber products for the construction of the project, certify that the lumber or forest products which will be provided were not grown or harvested in a state or foreign country listed in paragraph I.(b) above.

The term produced in the United States defined as:

1. Iron or Steel Products. All manufacturing processes from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings occurred in the United States according to Section 106.10(a).

2. Manufactured Product. Final assembly of all manufactured products permanently incorporated into the project must be manufactured in the United States.

2.a A manufactured product, not predominantly steel or iron, is defined as an article, material, or supply that has been processed into a specific form and shape, or combined with other articles, materials, or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials, or supplies.

2.b Predominantly steel or iron is defined as greater than or equal to 50 percent of the total cost of the manufactured product.

2.c Manufactured products that are predominantly steel or iron must comply with Buy America provisions according to Section 106.10(a).

2.d If an article, material, or supply meets this definition but could also be classified as an excluded material or other product category, that article, material, or supply is not a manufactured product.

2.e Mixtures of excluded materials delivered to a work site without final form for incorporation into a project are also not manufactured products.

2.f Manufactured products where the final assembly did not occur in the United States may be used, provided the cumulative cost of such manufactured products is no more than the lesser of $1 million or 5% of total applicable costs for the project.
