The commissioner of administration or any agent of the state with purchasing power may also give such preference whenever competing bids, in their entirety, are [comparable] no greater than ten percent higher, the same, or less. For purposes of this section, "commodities" shall include any agricultural product that has been processed or otherwise had value added to it in this state.
