RECIPROCAL LIMITATIONS ACT REQUIREMENTS.pdf

The document is a Reciprocal Limitations Act Requirements form issued by the Department of General Services, designed to outline state preferences for bidders offering supplies, goods, and services across different states. The document provides a comprehensive list of states that offer preferential treatment to in-state bidders, with varying percentage preferences for different categories of products such as timber, construction materials, coal, printing, and other specific goods. These preferences range from 1% to 15% depending on the state and product category, and apply to bids over $10,000.

The form requires bidders to complete detailed information about their manufacturing origins, state of residency, and business incorporation status. Specifically, bidders must disclose the state or country of manufacture for each item, provide their business address, and indicate whether they are a corporation, partnership, or individual conducting business in Pennsylvania. The document outlines calculation methods for applying these preferences, which involve reducing a bid's submitted price by the applicable percentage preference based on the bidder's state of origin and the manufactured goods' state of origin.
