About this file
This is a Local Preference Affidavit form issued by Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP), a public entity serving over 1.4 million members across Riverside and San Bernardino Counties in California. The affidavit establishes IEHP's local preference program for evaluating quotations and bids submitted by for-profit firms and individuals whose work is paid in whole or in part from IEHP General Funds. Qualifying local businesses may receive five additional points toward their overall bid score. To establish local business status, a vendor must maintain a fixed physical office with staffing located within Riverside or San Bernardino County boundaries, possess current authorization to conduct business in these counties, and demonstrate a minimum six-month operational history prior to certification. Acceptable office locations must be operational during normal business hours with company employees physically present; post office boxes, residential addresses, and unstaffed sales offices do not qualify. The business must credit all sales tax from sales generated within the applicable counties.
Vendors claiming local preference status must submit supporting documentation with their bid response, including a current California Board of Equalization form (BOE 531-A and/or BOE 530-C) showing sales tax credits to each jurisdiction, a current business license from the political jurisdiction where the business is located, and proof of the current business address demonstrating operational staffing. The affidavit form requires submission of the company's business name, physical address, contact information, length of tenure at the location, number of employees at that address, county location, business license number, hours of operation, and the primary function of the location. In the evaluation scoring structure, a qualified local business receives five points for local preference while non-local bidders receive zero points in this category, with the points added to the overall bid score for award consideration.

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.
