Support S.B. 260 (DeSteph, McPike, VanValkenburg, New Craig) - Prioritize state procurement of goods made in Virginia! S.B. 260 requires that Virginia and U.S. manufactured goods are prioritized in the state procurement process, allows Virginia companies to price-match an out-of-state bid, and requires out-of-state procurement preference reciprocity. This policy is a recommendation of the Virginia Department of General Services, Public Body Procurement Workgroup, and the Virginia Manufacturing Development Commission. The Senate passed the bill 40-0. Virginia is the only Mid-Atlantic and Southern state without a manufactured goods procurement preference. Every state around us has some type of preference and Virginia has stood still for 18 years. North Carolina has had a price-matching preference for their manufactured goods since 2010. The House Committee on General Laws recently amended the bill to remove the price-matching provision that is essential to the bill. Please vote to reject the House committee substitute and support S.B. 260 as passed the Senate! Ensure that Manufacturing Makes Virginia!
