About this file
This is a Local Vendor Preference Certification form issued by Collier County, Florida's Procurement Services Division for use in conjunction with RFP No. 25-8420, a Request for Proposal seeking an international tourism representation firm to promote the Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades destination in the Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and BeNeLux markets. The selected vendor will develop annual marketing plans, manage social media communications, coordinate public relations, participate in trade shows, conduct familiarization trips, and maintain databases of trade and media contacts. The contract term is three years with two potential one-year renewal options. Proposals are due November 28th, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST. The evaluation process uses a 100-point scoring system that includes a 10-point local vendor preference component.
To qualify for local vendor preference consideration under Collier County Procurement Ordinance Section Sixteen, vendors must maintain a physical business address within Collier County limits from which staff operates in an appropriately zoned area, demonstrate measurable economic contribution to the county through employment retention or expansion and tax base support, and possess a current local Business Tax Receipt (Occupational License) issued by the Collier County Tax Collector prior to bid submission. Vendors must certify compliance in writing at the time of proposal submission, and misrepresentation of local preference status results in loss of local preference eligibility for up to one year. The county historically spent approximately $180,000 on similar services, though this may not indicate future spending patterns, and vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability and Professional Liability policies with Collier County named as additional insured.

State of Florida (Select County if Vendor is described as a Local Business) Collier County Lee County
Vendor affirms that it is a local business as defined by Section Sixteen of the Collier County Procurement Ordinance:
• A physical business address in Collier County with a County business address as listed with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations located within the limits of Collier County from which the vendor's staff operates and performs business in an area zoned for the conduct of such business. A post office box or a facility that receives mail, or a non-permanent structure such as a construction trailer, storage shed, or other non-permanent structure shall not be used to establish the physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of Collier County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, support and increase to the County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier County. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. A vendor who misrepresents the Local Preference status of its firm in a proposal or bid submitted to the County will lose the privilege to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one year; and
• A current local Business Tax Receipt (also known as an Occupational License) issued by the Collier County Tax Collector prior to bid or proposal submission.
If requested by the County, Vendor will be required to provide documentation substantiating the information given in this certification. Failure to do so will result in the vendor’s submission being deemed non-responsive.
Under penalties of perjury, I certify that the information shown on this form is correct to my knowledge and a duly corporate authorized representative with signature authority.
