About this file
This is a Local Preference Affidavit form issued by the Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) in California for use in evaluating bid submissions for contracts funded by IEHP General Funds. The affidavit establishes the framework for applying a local preference point value to qualified bidders competing for IEHP contracts, including the Clinical Review Services opportunity. Bidders seeking the local preference must submit the completed affidavit along with their bid response and meet specific residency and operational requirements. The contract opportunity relates to clinical review services intended to ensure IEHP meets regulatory turnaround times for physician-level review of prior authorizations, grievances, and potential quality incidents.
A local business is defined as a firm with fixed offices located within the geographical boundaries of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, authorized to conduct business in these counties, and crediting all applicable sales tax to these jurisdictions. Qualifying local businesses must maintain a staffed, functional office operating during normal business hours and have been located and conducting business in Riverside or San Bernardino County for at least six months prior to certification. Eligible bidders receive five points added to their overall evaluation score, with the scoring example demonstrating that a qualified local bidder with equivalent cost performance to a non-local competitor would achieve a total score of 100 compared to 95 for the non-local bidder. Required supporting documentation includes current BOE 531-A and/or BOE 530-C sales tax forms, a current business license, and proof of the current business address with operational staffing.

IEHP Local Preference 05.09.2023
Local Business Qualification Affidavit
Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) has adopted a local preference program to be used when evaluating quotations submitted from firms or individuals engaged in “for profit” business activities paid for in “whole” or “in part” out of IEHP General Funds. The IEHP Local Business Preference of 5 points may be applied to a bidder’s bid submission if the bidder qualifies for this preference. Potential Bidders, please submit this form along with your bid response if claiming the preference.
Definition of a Local Business A local business shall mean a business/firm with fixed offices located within the geographical boundaries of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, authorized to perform business within these two counties, and in doing so, credit all sales tax from sales generated within Riverside or San Bernardino County. Vendors who provide product or perform contracted work using employees, of whom the majority are physically located in said local offices located within the County boundaries, might claim the Local Preference of 5 points.
“Local businesses” must have a Riverside or San Bernardino County business street address. Post office box numbers, residential addresses or unstaffed sales offices shall not suffice to establish status as a “local business”. To qualify as a “local business” the location must be open and staffed during normal business hours and the business must establish proof that it has been located and doing business in Riverside or San Bernardino County for at least (6) six months preceding its certification to IEHP as a local business.
Additional supporting documentation requested by IEHP to verify qualification includes:
1. A copy of a current BOE 531-A and/or BOE 530-C form: (State, Local & District Sales and Use Tax Return Form). Businesses submit this form to the State Board of Equalization when paying the sales tax to the State of California indicating the amount of their tax credits to each jurisdiction (i.e., Counties, Cities).
2. A current business license is required for the political jurisdiction the business is located.
3. Proof of the current business address: The local business needs to be operating from a functional office that operates and has staffing of the company’s employees, during normal business hours. A residential address will not suffice.
