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

summary of the new preferences is available at 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)]
