Virginia Public Procurement Act; preference for local products and firms, by localities.

Summary

The bill lets counties, cities and towns give preference to products and contractors that are based in their own jurisdiction, as long as the offer is no more than five percent higher than the cheapest qualified bid. It also permits the local bidder to match the lowest price to win the contract. This expands the current rule that only allows a preference when bids are tied.
