About this file

This is a Foreign Countries of Concern Affidavit required by Pinellas County, Florida for contractors seeking to bid on or enter into contracts that grant access to Personal Identifying Information. The affidavit certifies that the contractor entity is not owned by, does not have a controlling interest held by, and is not organized under the laws of or principally based in any designated Foreign Country of Concern, including the People's Republic of China, Russian Federation, Islamic Republic of Iran, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Republic of Cuba, Venezuelan regime of Nicolas Maduro, or Syrian Arab Republic. Controlling interest is defined as direct or indirect possession of voting rights of 25 percent or more of the company or entitlement to 25 percent or more of its profits. The affidavit must be completed and signed by an authorized representative of the contractor under penalties of perjury and must be notarized before a notary public who verifies the signatory's identity through physical presence or online notarization.

The completed affidavit requires the contractor to provide its name, Federal Work Authorization User Identification Number, the specific Pinellas County contract name and number, and the notary public information including commission expiration date. This affidavit is mandatory for the STAR Center AHU-104, -161, -162 Replacement project (ITB-C #26-0306), a construction project involving the replacement of air handling units at the Young-Rainey STAR Center. Bidders must submit this compliance document as part of their bid package to demonstrate compliance with Section 287.138, Florida Statutes, ensuring that contractors meet the county's requirements regarding foreign ownership and control restrictions before being considered for contract award.
