This proposed legislation seems to mostly apply to state-level
tax credits, abatements, loans and grants, but if it also applies to
regular contracts, then OOo (and most non-MS applications and systems)

"Granholm, Legislative Democrats Announce New Legislation to
Limit Outsourcing, Protect Worker Pensions"
http://www.michigan.gov/gov/0,1607,7-168--147471--,00.html
The proposal is to discriminate against companies which have been involved
in illegal practices, offshoring, overseas tax shelters, poor performance
in past contracts, etc.
The actual bill is expected to be introduced next week.
