(1) (a) Except as provided in subsection (1)(b) of this section and in section 24-103-907, when a contract for commodities or services is to be awarded to a bidder, a resident bidder shall be allowed a preference against a nonresident bidder equal to the preference given or required by the state in which the nonresident bidder is a resident.
(b) Notwithstanding subsection (1)(a) of this section, when an invitation for bids for a contract for the purchase of commodities results in a low tie bid, the provisions of section 24-103-902 apply.
(c) For the purposes of this subsection (1), "commodities" includes supplies as defined in section 24-101-301 (47).
(2) If it is determined by the procurement agent responsible for awarding the bid that compliance with this section may cause denial of federal moneys which would otherwise be available or would otherwise be inconsistent with requirements of federal law, this section shall be suspended, but only to the extent necessary to prevent denial of the moneys or to eliminate the inconsistency with federal requirements.
