/ SECTION 1. Section 11-35-1524(D)(1) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(1) When
evaluating pricing for purposes of making an award
determination, the procurement officer shall decrease a bidder's
price by two percent if:
(a)
the bidder has a documented commitment from a single
proposed first-tier subcontractor to perform some portion of the
services expressly required by the
solicitation; and
(b)
at the time of the bidding, the
subcontractor directly employs or has a documented commitment
with individuals domiciled in South Carolina that will perform
services expressly required by the solicitation and the total
direct labor cost to the subcontractor for those individuals to
provide those services exceeds twenty percent of bidder's total
bid price; or
(b)
the bidder is a business owned by a
service-disabled veteran residing in this State. For purposes of
this section, 'service-disabled veteran" means a person who
served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who
was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than
dishonorable disability or death, that such disability was
incurred or aggravated in line of duty in the active military,
naval, or air service."
