To qualify for the 5% preference, bidder must be an "Ohio" bidder; 1) offering product produced, raised, grown or manufactured in Ohio or 2) has significant Ohio economic presence - pays taxes, registered with Ohio Secretary of State and has 10 or more or 75% of workforce located in Ohio. See: OAC 123:5-1-06 (3) (d). |

Reciprocal preferences are given to construction and printed goods to all recognized Bordering States with the exception of State of Michigan for printing. See: OAC 123:5-1-06. |
| Mined Products |
Mined products must be mined in Ohio or in qualifying border states. See: OAC 125.09(C) (1); 125.11 |
