About this file
This is a Local Business Preference submittal form for the City of Austin's procurement program. The document outlines the City of Austin's optional Local Business Preference Program, which is designed to encourage local businesses to participate in City solicitations and increase opportunities for local entities to conduct business with the municipality. Participation in the program is voluntary and not required to respond to solicitations; however, offerors meeting specific criteria are encouraged to complete the form and include it with their offer. The program is not available for solicitations subject to federal funding.
To qualify for the local business preference, an offeror must meet two criteria: it must be classified as a Local Business, defined as any person or corporate entity with headquarters located within the Local Area, and the headquarters must be located in the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area, including all areas within Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties, collectively known as "Greater Austin." The City defines headquarters as either the location where owners or leadership provide direction and management of the entity, or the location of the entity's Administrative Center where most important business and operational activities are managed. The City may request additional information to confirm an offeror's headquarters location using resources such as the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council Geo Map or the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Any misrepresentation of headquarters information may result in forfeiture of the preference, disqualification from the resulting contract, or contract voidance if discovered after award.

SUBMITTAL – Local Business Preference
LOCAL BUSINESS PREFERENCE – OPTIONAL
To encourage Local Businesses to participate in City solicitations and to increase the opportunities to do business with the City, the City of Austin maintains a Local Business Preference Procurement or “Local Preference” Program.
Note: Local Business Preference may not be allowable, and will not be provided, in solicitations subject to federal funding.
1. Instructions. Offerors meeting the following criteria (both) are encouraged to complete this form and include it with their Offer. Participation in this program or completion of this form is not required to respond to this solicitation.
A. Local Business. The City defines a Local Business as any person or corporate entity with Headquarters located within the Local Area. The City defines Headquarters as (a) the location of the owners or leadership, where they provide direction and management of the entity, and/or (b) the location of the entity’s Administrative Center, where most of the entity’s important business and operational activities are managed.
B. Local Area. The City defines the Local Area as being within the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), including all areas within Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson counties, or “Greater Austin”.
2. Confirmation. The City may request additional information to confirm the Offeror’s Headquarters, including resources like the following (https://geomap.ffiec.gov/ffiecgeomap/) and (https://mycpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/).
3. Misrepresentation. If the City determines any of the Offeror’s information regarding their Headquarters is incorrect, the City may withhold any available preference. If the City determines the error was intentional, the City may disqualify the Offeror from any resulting contract as being non-responsible. If the Offeror is awarded the contract, and the misrepresentation is discovered after contract award, the City reserves the right to void the contract.
