RECIPROCAL LIMITATIONS ACT REQUIREMENTS.pdf

This document is a Reciprocal Limitations Act Requirements form issued by the Department of General Services (GSPUR-89 Rev. 11/06/12), which outlines state-specific preferences and prohibitions for bidders offering supplies, goods, and services in various states, with a focus on Pennsylvania's procurement policies. The form provides detailed guidance for bidders on how to calculate preferences for in-state and out-of-state suppliers across multiple states, with specific percentage-based preferences for different product categories including timber, construction materials, coal, printing, and other specialized goods.

The document comprehensively lists state-specific preference percentages for suppliers, with ranges from 1% to 10% depending on the state and product type. For example, Alaska offers a 7% preference for timber and lumber products, while Louisiana provides a 4% preference for catfish and 10% for steel-rolled products. The form also includes a prohibition section detailing specific restrictions for certain states, such as Alabama's limitations on printing and binding, and New Jersey's exclusion of certain bidders from small business certifications. Bidders are required to complete detailed sections about their state of manufacture, residency, and business registration, with specific instructions for corporations, partnerships, and individual vendors seeking to qualify for state preferences.
