Except as provided in subsection (1)(b) of this section and in section 24-103-907, when a contract for commodities or services is to be awarded to a bidder, a resident bidder shall be allowed a preference against a nonresident bidder equal to the preference given or required by the state in which the nonresident bidder is a resident.
