preference made available to any resident vendor. The SWAM rules found in W. Va. § 148 C.S.R.

available to a resident vendor in the solicitation for which the SWAM business has submitted a
bid. In order to obtain this preference, however, a non-resident SWAM business must identify itself
as such in writing with the bid and must be properly certified under the rules governing certification
pursuant in W. Va. § 148 C.S.R. 22-1 et seq.
