RECIPROCAL LIMITATIONS ACT REQUIREMENTS.pdf

This document is a Reciprocal Limitations Act Requirements form from the Department of General Services, specifically the GSPUR-89 Rev. 11/06/12 version. The document details state-specific preferences for in-state supplies, printing, and manufacturing for bids submitted to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The form provides comprehensive lists of states with their respective preference percentages for various product categories, including supplies, construction materials, coal, timber, lumber, meat products, dairy products, and printing services.

The document outlines a detailed calculation method for preferences, where Pennsylvania bidders can receive preference reductions when competing against nonresident bidders. The preferences range from 1% to 15% depending on the state and product category, with specific prohibitions for certain states regarding the procurement of particular items. Bidders are required to complete sections detailing their state of manufacture, residency, and business registration status in Pennsylvania. The form is designed to provide a structured approach to evaluating bids that gives preference to in-state businesses while maintaining a framework for fair competition across different states.
