Pennsylvania HB897 amends procurement code to prioritize American-made supplies in state purchases.
Pennsylvania HB897 amends the Commonwealth Procurement Code to prioritize the procurement of American-made supplies. The bill defines "American-made" as products produced, manufactured, mined, grown, or performed in the United States. The department must incorporate this prioritization into procurement policies and procedures. If a supply is deemed not American-made or insufficiently available, the Secretary of General Services must notify the Legislative Reference Bureau. Individuals or businesses can object to such determinations within 30 days, with objections treated as appeals.
