A. When purchasing items at retail, every procurement officer under the provisions of this Chapter or other person acting as purchasing agent shall purchase items from a retail dealer located in the state of Louisiana which items are equal in quality to items purchased from a retail dealer located outside the state, provided the cost of items purchased from a retail dealer located in this state does not exceed by more than ten percent the cost of items purchased from a retail dealer located outside the state.
B. A retail dealer shall qualify for the preference if the dealer can show that he has paid Louisiana corporate income, corporate franchise, and inventory taxes or any combination thereof during the previous twelve-month period.
C. Retailers domiciled in the state of Louisiana are to be granted the same preference over retailers domiciled in the state favoring retailers domiciled therein with a preference over retailers domiciled in the state of Louisiana in the same manner and on the same basis and to the same extent that such preference may be granted in purchasing items of the same type by such other state to retailers domiciled therein over retailers domiciled in the state of Louisiana.
