About this file

This is a Foreign Countries of Concern Affidavit required by Pinellas County, Florida for contractors seeking to enter into or renew contracts that would grant access to personal identifying information. The affidavit certifies that the contractor is not owned by, does not have a controlling interest from, and is not organized under the laws of or principally located in a Foreign Country of Concern, which includes the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Republic of Cuba, the Venezuelan regime of Nicolas Maduro, or the Syrian Arab Republic. An authorized representative of the contractor must complete and sign the affidavit under penalties of perjury, with the document requiring notarization before a notary public who verifies the signatory's identity through physical presence or online notarization.

The affidavit applies specifically to Request for Proposal 26-0251 for Employee Benefits Concierge and Health Navigation Services, where Pinellas County is seeking to procure services for approximately 3,250 benefits-eligible employees and their families. The document includes fields for the contractor name, Federal Work Authorization User Identification Number, contract name and number, notarization date, county name, type of identification provided, notary name, and commission expiration date. All contractors must execute and submit this affidavit as a mandatory certification prior to contract award, in addition to other required attestations including the Human Trafficking Affidavit and Common Carrier Attestation. The affidavit serves as a compliance mechanism to ensure that County contractors are not subject to foreign government control or influence that could compromise access to sensitive personal identifying information.
