SCOPE:
The purpose of this policy is to establish official procedure for handling state preferences in procurement activities.
POLICY:
Per §16.75(1)(a) 2, Wis. Stats, if a vendor is not a Wisconsin business but is competing with a Wisconsin business in a procurement event, the agency will apply a penalty to the non-Wisconsin business if they are domiciled in a state, nation or subdivision thereof that applies a preference for their businesses.
A "Wisconsin business" is determined by Wis. Adm. Rule Tax 2.82. See PRO-101, Procurement Definitions and Thresholds.
The agency will apply the penalty only when the result will benefit a Wisconsin business. The penalty will not be applied if it only changes which non-Wisconsin business receives the award. The penalty could be applied to more than one non-Wisconsin business if the calculation would cause the award to be made to a Wisconsin business.
