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 website.

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,
