About this file
This is a Foreign Country of Concern Affidavit form required by Pinellas County, Florida for contractors seeking to enter into agreements that would provide access to Personal Identifying Information. The affidavit certifies that the contractor is not owned by, controlled by, or organized under the laws of designated foreign countries of concern, which include 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 any contractor submitting a bid, proposal, or contract renewal with the County must complete and execute this affidavit under penalty of perjury. The form defines "Controlling Interest" as the power to direct management or policies through ownership, contract, or other means, with a presumption of controlling interest for entities holding 25 percent or more of voting interests or profits.
The affidavit must be notarized before a notary public and include the contractor's name, the specific Pinellas County contract name and number, Federal Work Authorization User Identification Number, and the notary's commission expiration date. Completion of this form is a compliance requirement under Section 287.138, Florida Statutes, and represents a prerequisite for award and performance of any County contract involving access to Personal Identifying Information. The document serves as a certification mechanism to ensure that County contracting partners maintain appropriate foreign ownership restrictions and independence from foreign government control.
