APPLICABLE ACTS: The bidder shall comply with the following acts.
1. Steel Products Procurement Act
In accordance with the Act of March 3, 1978 (P.L. 6, No. 3), as amended, known
as the "Steel Products Procurement Act" (73 P.S. Section 1881 et seq.), the
Contractor, subcontractors, material men, or suppliers shall use only steel products
produced in the United States. "Steel products" mean products rolled, formed,
shaped, drawn, extruded, forged, cast, fabricated, or otherwise similarly processed
by a combination of two or more of such operations, from steel made in the United
States by the open hearth, basic oxygen, electric furnace, Bessemer, or other steel
making process, including cast iron products. With each shipment of steel or cast-
iron products delivered to the project site, the Contractor shall provide evidence to
the Game Commission's field representative that such steel products comply with
the Act. When Unidentified Steel Products are supplied, the Contractor must
provide documentation which includes, but is not limited to invoices, bills of lading,
and mill certification that the steel was melted and manufactured in the United
States, which establishes that the Contractor has fully complied with the Act. If a
steel product is identifiable from its face, the Contractor must provide certification
that it has fully complied with the Act.
The definition of steel products shall include machinery and equipment listed in
United States Department of Commerce Standard Industrial Classification 25
(furniture and fixture), 35 (machinery, except electrical) and 37 (transportation
equipment) and made of, fabricated from, or containing steel components. If a
product contains both foreign and United States steel, such product shall be
determined to be a United States steel product only if at least 75% of the cost of the
articles, materials and supplies have been mined, produced, or manufactured, as the
case may be, in the United States. Transportation equipment shall be determined
to be a United States steel product if it complies with Section 165 of Public Law
97-424 (96 Stat. 2136).

The PGC shall not provide for, or make any payments to, any person who has not
complied with the Act. Any such payments made to any person by the PGC which
should not have been made because of the Act shall be recoverable directly from
the Contractor or subcontractor who did not comply with the Act. In addition to
the above penalties, any person who willfully violates the provisions of the Act
shall be subject to other penalties outlined in the Act.
2. Trade Practices Act
In accordance with the Act of July 23, 1968 (P.L. 686, No. 226), as amended,
known as the "Trade Practices Act" (71 P.S. Section 773.101 et seq.) the Contractor
shall not use or permit to be used in the work any aluminum or steel products made
in a foreign country which is listed below as a foreign country which discriminates
against aluminum or steel products manufactured in Pennsylvania. The countries
of Brazil, Spain, South Korea, and Argentina have been found to discriminate
against certain products manufactured in Pennsylvania. Therefore, the use of those
countries' products, as listed below, is not permitted:
a. Brazil: welded carbon steel pipes and tubes; carbon steel wire rod; tool
steel; certain stainless-steel products including hot-rolled stainless-steel bar;
stainless steel wire rod and cold-formed stainless-steel bar; prestressed
concrete steel wire strand; hot-rolled carbon steel plate in coil; hot-rolled
carbon steel sheet; and cold-rolled carbon steel sheet.
b. Spain: certain stainless-steel products, including stainless steel wire rod,
hot-rolled stainless-steel bars, and cold-formed stainless-steel bars;
prestressed concrete steel wire strand; and certain steel products including
hot-rolled steel plate, cold-rolled carbon steel plate, carbon steel structural
shapes, galvanized carbon steel sheet, hot-rolled carbon steel bars, and cold-
formed carbon steel bars.
c. South Korea: welded carbon steel pipes and tubes; hot-rolled carbon steel
plate; hot-rolled carbon steel sheet; and galvanized steel sheet.
d. Argentina: carbon steel wire rod and cold-rolled carbon steel sheet.
Penalties for violation of this paragraph may be found in the Trade Practices Act,
which penalties include becoming ineligible for public works contracts for a period
of three (3) years. This paragraph in no way relieves the Contractor of
responsibility to comply with the provisions of the Steel Products Procurement Act
described herein.

Game Commission must have a Vendor Number assigned to them to receive payment from
the Commonwealth. To apply for a Vendor Number, the Vendor can register online at
