About this file

This document is an Affidavit of Compliance form for the City of Fort Myers, Florida, related to Section 287.138 of Florida Statutes concerning contracting with foreign entities of concern. The affidavit requires a vendor to certify that they are not owned by, controlled by, or principally located in certain specified foreign countries, including the People's Republic of China, Russian Federation, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria. The purpose is to prevent the county from entering contracts with foreign entities that could potentially access personal identifying information.

The affidavit is a legal document that must be signed and notarized, with the vendor affirming they meet specific criteria regarding foreign ownership and control. It is designed to protect the local government's interests by ensuring that vendors do not have significant ties to countries deemed potentially problematic by Florida state law. The form provides spaces for the vendor's representative to enter their business details, sign the document, and have it officially notarized, with provisions for both physical and online notarization.
