About this file
This document is a Bidder's Statement of Principal Place of Business form required by the State of Florida for vendors whose principal place of business is located outside of Florida. The form, pursuant to Section 287.084(2), F.S., mandates that out-of-state vendors provide a written legal opinion from an attorney licensed in their state regarding any bidding preferences that may exist for local business entities when competing for public contracts.
The form requires the out-of-state bidder's attorney to provide a legal opinion on two key aspects: state-level bidding preferences and political subdivision preferences. The attorney must declare whether their state or political subdivision grants any preferential treatment to local business entities in public contract procurement. This involves either affirming no preferences exist or detailing specific preferences and identifying the applicable state laws. The form includes spaces for the attorney's signature, contact information, and states of bar admission, creating a formal documentation process to ensure transparency and fairness in public contract bidding across different jurisdictions.
