Preference

In accordance with the provisions of Iowa Code 73.2 a preference will be given to products and provisions grown and coal produced within the State of Iowa, when they are found in marketable quantities in the State and are of a quantity reasonably suited to the purpose intended, and can be secured without additional cost over foreign products or products of the other states. Preferences required by applicable statute or rule shall also be applied, where appropriate.

Tied Bids

Whenever a tie involves an Iowa vendor and a vendor outside the state of Iowa, the Iowa vendor will receive preference. Whenever a tie involves one or more Iowa vendors and one or more vendors outside the state of Iowa, the drawing will be held among the Iowa vendors only. Tied bids involving Iowa-produced or Iowa-manufactured products and items produced or manufactured outside the state of Iowa will be resolved in favor of the Iowa product.

In the event of a tied bid between Iowa vendors, the department shall contact the Iowa Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) committee for confirmation and verification as to whether the vendors have complied with ESGR standards. Preference, in the case of a tied bid, shall be given to Iowa vendors complying with ESGR standards.

An award shall be determined by a drawing when responses are received that are equal in all respects and tied in price. Whenever it is practical to do so, the drawing will be held in the presence of the vendors who are tied in price. Otherwise the drawing will be made in front of at least three noninterested parties. All drawings shall be documented.
