About this file
Form 4 is a Local Vendor Preference Certification document issued by the Collier County Procurement Services Division for the Real Estate Services RFP. This certification form allows vendors to affirm their status as local businesses in Collier County or Lee County and claim eligibility for local vendor preference consideration in the evaluation process. Proposers must submit a completed and signed certification form by the proposal deadline of March 16, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for February 20, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST in Naples, Florida. The anticipated contract term is three years with two optional one-year renewal periods.
To qualify for local vendor preference status, vendors must maintain a physical business address within Collier County or Lee County limits with a current Business Tax Receipt (Occupational License) issued by the respective county tax collector prior to bid submission. The vendor's address must be a permanent structure zoned for business operations and cannot be a post office box, mail facility, or temporary structure. Additionally, vendors must demonstrate verifiable and measurable contributions to economic development and well-being through employment retention and expansion, tax base support, and employee residency within the county. Local vendor preference awards 10 points in the evaluation criteria and is not a set-aside program; all qualified vendors may compete regardless of preference status. Vendors who misrepresent their local business status forfeit local preference eligibility for up to one year, and any false certifications submitted under penalties of perjury may result in submission rejection and legal consequences.

Form 4: Local Vendor Preference Certification
(Check Appropriate Boxes Below)
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.
