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 http://www.dli.pa.gov/Pages/Non-Compliance-List.aspx

August 27, 2026 11:56:45 AM Page 14 of 70 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.
