    Chapter 32: American goods and products to be used in state work

      Section: 52:32-20: Set-aside contracts

           a. Notwithstanding the provisions of any State bidding or public contracts laws to the contrary, but subject to any supervening federal statutes or rules, contracting agencies, in consultation with the department, may designate a contract, or a portion thereof, for goods, equipment, construction or services to be awarded by a contracting agency as a small business, female business or minority business set-aside contract pursuant to the goals and procedures established by this 1985 amendatory act, whenever there is a reasonable expectation that bids may be obtained from at least three qualified small businesses, female businesses or minority businesses capable of furnishing the desired goods, equipment, construction or services at a fair and reasonable price. The designation shall be made prior to the advertisement for bids.

b. Where application of the goals and procedures established under this act would jeopardize the State's participation in a program from which the State receives federal funds or other benefits, the contracting agency may, in consultation with the department, withdraw the affected contracts from consideration or calculation.

L. 1983, c. 482, s. 4. Amended by L. 1985, c. 384, s. 5.
