SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Public Procurement Act; preference for goods made in the United States. Provides that in determining the award of any contract for goods or nonprofessional services, a public body shall give preference to goods produced in the United States, or to goods or nonprofessional services provided by U.S.-based firms or corporations, so long as the bid price of such firm or corporation is not more than 20 percent greater than the bid price of the low responsive and responsible foreign-based firm or corporation. The bill provides that such contract may be awarded to a foreign-based firm or corporation in accordance if it is a sole source contract.
