About this file
This is a Foreign Countries of Concern Affidavit required by Pinellas County, Florida for the Banking Services RFP (26-0180) involving the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners and the Pinellas County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller. The affidavit must be completed and notarized by an authorized representative of any contractor submitting a bid or proposal that would grant access to personal identifying information. The document certifies that the contractor entity is not owned by or under the controlling interest of governments designated as 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, and the Syrian Arab Republic. The affidavit defines "Controlling Interest" as the power to direct management or policies through ownership of securities, contract, or otherwise, with a presumption of control at 25 percent or more of voting interests or profits. The signatory must declare under penalties of perjury that the facts stated are true, and the document must be acknowledged before a notary public through either physical presence or online notarization.
The affidavit serves as a compliance requirement under Section 287.138, Florida Statutes, and represents a restrictive provision applicable to all proposers in this banking services procurement. No pricing terms, set-asides, or funding requirements are addressed in this document, as it functions solely as a certification and attestation instrument. Contractors must complete the form with their Federal Work Authorization User Identification Number and the relevant Pinellas County contract number before submission through the OpenGov procurement portal by the final proposal deadline of February 19, 2026, at 3:00 p.m.
