Sec. 45-75. Biobased products. When a State contract is to | ||||
be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, an otherwise | ||||
qualified bidder who will fulfill the contract through the use | ||||
of biobased products may be given preference over other bidders | ||||
unable to do so, provided that the cost included in the bid of | ||||
