ATTACHMENT H: VENDOR REQUEST FOR EO50 PRICE MATCHING

Solicitation #: __________________________

Vendor Name: __________________________

Pursuant to G.S. 143-59 and Executive Order No. 50 (2010), a North Carolina resident Vendor may receive the opportunity to obtain a contract award by agreeing to match the final price(s) of the lowest Vendor, if the lowest price is offered by a non-resident Vendor. This opportunity arises when a North Carolina resident Vendor offers a price that is within five percent (5%) or $10,000 (whichever is less) of the non-resident Vendor’s overall lowest price. Requesting a price matching opportunity below does not require a resident Vendor to match the lowest price in the event the Vendor qualifies for the opportunity.

The following sections shall be completed if a resident Vendor is requesting a price matching opportunity:

it has paid unemployment taxes to the State of North Carolina for the most recent quarter or annually and has specifically done so for the last such payment period.

it has paid income taxes to the State of North Carolina each calendar quarter, or otherwise annually, and has specifically done so for the last such payment period.
