About this file

This is a mandatory compliance affidavit document required for submission with bids or proposals to Hillsborough County, Florida, related to their State Lobbying Services procurement opportunity. The affidavit, mandated by Florida Statute 287.138, must accompany all bids for the County's competitive sealed proposal process seeking qualified lobbying firms to represent the Board of County Commissioners and County Administrator before Florida's legislative and executive branches over a three-year contract period with an estimated budget of $175,000 per contract.

The affidavit requires bidders to provide notarized sworn statements denying any involvement with designated "Foreign Countries of Concern," specifically China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, South Korea, Cuba, Venezuela under Nicolas Maduro, or Syria, including any agencies or entities under their significant control. Compliance requirements became effective January 1, 2024, and mandate that companies affirm they are not owned by, controlled by, or organized under the laws of these foreign countries, nor do they have their principal place of business in such countries. The document must be completed by an authorized company representative with sufficient knowledge and authority, properly notarized, and submitted as part of the proposal package to maintain bid eligibility.
