PREFERENCES - A NOTICE TO VENDORS (SEP. 2009): On June 16, 2009, the South Carolina General Assembly rewrote the law governing preferences available to in-state vendors, vendors using in-state subcontractors, and vendors selling in-state or US end products. This law appears in Section 11-35-1524 of the South Carolina Code of Laws. A summary of the new preferences is available at www.procurement.sc.gov/preferences . ALL THE PREFERENCES MUST BE CLAIMED AND ARE APPLIED BY LINE ITEM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AWARD IS MADE BY

ITEM OR LOT. VENDORS ARE CAUTIONED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THE STATUTE BEFORE

CLAIMING ANY PREFERENCES. THE REQUIREMENTS TO QUALIFY HAVE CHANGED. IF YOU

REQUEST A PREFERENCE, YOU ARE CERTIFYING THAT YOUR OFFER QUALIFIES FOR THE

PREFERENCE YOU'VE CLAIMED. IMPROPERLY REQUESTING A PREFERENCE CAN HAVE SERIOUS

CONSEQUENCES. [11-35-1524(E)(4)&(6)]

PREFERENCES - ADDRESS AND PHONE OF IN-STATE OFFICE: Please provide the address and phone number for your in-state office in the space provided below. An in-state office is necessary to claim either the Resident Vendor Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(i)&(ii)) or the Resident Contractor Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(iii)). Accordingly, you must provide this information to qualify for the preference.

The “State’s Response” should be read without reference to the questions. The questions are included solely to provide a cross-reference to the potential offeror that submitted the question.

The following prospective offeror questions and agency response is hereby incorporated into the solicitation.

Question 1: What type of extensive bar-coding is required? What is the barcode size?

State’s Response: The barcode must be printed on multiple layers of the form – the top and 3rd layers. The barcode encodes 12-digit alphanumeric value.

Question 2: Based on the layer 4 specs, our team is wondering if the forms are formatted as a book construction or multi-layered forms?

State’s Response: The state will work with the selected vendor on the best format for the forms.

The form is multi-layered and bound on the right side of the form. Each layer has a perforation on the right side where it can be removed from the binding.

Question 3: For the numbering it looks like you okay with either Black or Red, is this correct?

State’s Response: The state will accept either black or red colored font for the serial numbering, but black is preferred.
