MLGW has established a sheltered-market provision for Locally Owned Small Businesses (LSB) with gross annual sales below applicable SIC category limits and at least 51 percent ownership by Memphis Metropolitan Statistical Area residents who are U.S. citizens. Bidders must submit LSB certification copies if applicable; the source does not specify whether the LSB category is a set-aside or a preference. Suppliers may submit multiple responses but must respond with full quantities for each line item.

Bidders must indicate manufacturer and catalog number in the "Note to Buyer" field, provide lead-time information at the line level, submit a Foreign Adversary Certification, and furnish technical data sheets for any alternate products not on the approved list. Pricing is FOB Memphis, Tennessee with freight prepaid and allowed. MLGW's standard terms and conditions control; seller contracts, master agreements, or alternative terms will not be accepted. Payment requires a minimum of 30 days from invoice receipt or acceptable goods delivery, whichever is later. The contract is governed by Tennessee law with dispute resolution in Shelby County courts.
