About this file

This is a Foreign Country of Concern Affidavit form required by Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners, Florida for contractors bidding on or entering into contracts with the County that would grant access to Personal Identifying Information. The affidavit requires contractors to certify they are not owned by or do not have a controlling interest held by governments of designated foreign countries of concern, which are defined as 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. The form must be completed by an authorized representative of the bidding entity and notarized, with the contractor required to declare under penalties of perjury that the stated facts are true. A controlling interest is defined as direct or indirect possession of the power to direct management or policies through ownership of securities, contract, or other means, with a presumption of controlling interest if a person or entity directly or indirectly holds voting rights or profit entitlement of 25 percent or more.

The affidavit form includes fields for the contractor's name, signature, date, Federal Work Authorization User Identification Number, Pinellas County contract name and number, and detailed notarization information including the notary public's seal, commission expiration date, and identification verification method. This requirement is part of compliance with Section 287.138, Florida Statutes, and applies to all contractors seeking access to personal identifying information through county contracts, including the third-party administration services for Medicare Advantage plans referenced in the related RFP (26-0655-RFP).
