Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. Resident business.

The procedure for application and certification shall be as follows:
B. Resident manufacturers. Since a resident manufacturer is a person who offers materials grown, produced, processed or manufactured wholly in this state, the state purchasing agent will not prequalify any person as a resident manufacturer. Rather, a person must establish that each item bid on which he desires to be given a preference is for materials grown, produced, processed or manufactured wholly in this state.
