Section 1.4.2.9 - PREQUALIFICATION

Universal Citation: 1 NM Admin Code 1.4.2.9

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

A. Resident business. No business shall be given any preference in the awarding of contracts by a state agency or local public body unless the business has prequalified a resident business by making application to the state purchasing agent and receiving from him a certification number. The procedure for application and certification shall be as follows:

(1) the state purchasing agent shall prepare an application form for certification as a resident business requiring such information and proof as he deems necessary to prequalify the applicant under the terms of this rule;

(2) a prospective resident business shall complete the application form and submit it to the state purchasing agent prior to the awarding of any contract in which the business desires to be given a preference;

(3) the state purchasing agent shall examine the application and if necessary may seek additional information or proof so as to be assured that the applicant is indeed entitled to certification as a resident business. If the state purchasing agent is so assured, he shall issue the applicant a distinctive certification number which is valid until revoked and which, when used on bids and other purchasing documents for state agencies or local public bodies, entitles the holder of the number to the resident business preference.

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.
