@DanaPenner - Dana, any update from the Feds on this? Alaska Bidder preference. thanks!
Not yet - Just sent another inquiry today; original query was on 3/1
@mheadd and @susanjabal Here is our guidance from ACF on this: I am told that a state can have a requirement that tells the vendor they must do the work in the state (or be at a location), have an onsite/state presence or office etc., and I assume you could give points for that (if your state procurement policy allows it and it doesn’t restrict competition unreasonably). I am told there may be more restrictive language in the farm bill that authorizes FNS systems etc., but I am told we defer to state policy on this issue as long as it doesn’t unreasonably restrict competition.
In Section 6.11, we need to verify of the State of Alaska bidder preference will apply to this project.
