Executive Order #20
Effective June 11, 2002

Executive Order #20 issued by Governor James E. McGreevey on June 11, 2002 states apparel purchases by the State are to be produced in production facilities within the United States and that such production facilities meet certain minimum requirements. Accordingly, bid proposals providing for apparel production within the United States must meet the requirements of Executive Order #20 in order to be responsive and eligible for contract award. Such bid proposals were given preference over bid proposals providing for apparel production outside the United States.

A contract for the production of apparel outside of the United States was only awarded if there were either no responsive bid proposal received for the production of apparel within the United States or if responsive bid proposals received for the production of apparel within the United States are deemed not to be in the best interests of the State.
