PREFERENCES - A NOTICE TO VENDORS (SEP. 2009): On June 16, 2009, the South Carolina General Assembly

rewrote the law governing preferences available to in-state vendors, vendors using in-state subcontractors, and vendors

selling in-state or US end products. This law appears in Section 11-35-1524 of the South Carolina Code of Laws. A

summary of the new preferences is available at http://www.procurement.sc.gov/preferences. ALL THE

PREFERENCES MUST BE CLAIMED AND ARE APPLIED BY LINE ITEM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER

AWARD IS MADE BY ITEM OR LOT. VENDORS ARE CAUTIONED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THE

STATUTE BEFORE CLAIMING ANY PREFERENCES. THE REQUIREMENTS TO QUALIFY HAVE

CHANGED. IF YOU REQUEST A PREFERENCE, YOU ARE CERTIFYING THAT YOUR OFFER

QUALIFIES FOR THE PREFERENCE YOU'VE CLAIMED. IMPROPERLY REQUESTING A PREFERENCE

CAN HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. [11-35-1524(E)(4)&(6)] Preferences do not apply.

PREFERENCES - ADDRESS AND PHONE OF IN-STATE OFFICE: Please provide the address and phone number for

your in-state office in the space provided below. An in-state office is necessary to claim either the Resident Vendor

Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(i)&(ii)) or the Resident Contractor Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(iii)). Accordingly, you

must provide this information to qualify for the preference. An in-state office is not required, but can be beneficial, if you

are claiming the Resident Subcontractor Preference (11-35-1524(D)).
