About this file

This is a Local Business Preference submittal form issued by the City of Austin for use in responding to solicitations. The form is optional and encourages offerors meeting specified criteria to participate in the City's Local Business Preference Procurement Program, which aims to increase opportunities for local businesses to conduct business with the City. Participation in the program is voluntary and not required to submit an offer. The form requires offerors to certify their headquarters location and provide the physical address where owners, leadership, or administrative center functions are based. Offerors must confirm that their headquarters is located within the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area, encompassing all areas within Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties, commonly referred to as Greater Austin.

The form includes certification requirements whereby offerors must identify whether their headquarters constitutes the location of owners or leadership providing direction and management, the location of the entity's administrative center where important business and operational activities are managed, or both. The City reserves the right to request additional information to confirm an offeror's headquarters location using resources such as Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council mapping tools and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts database. The form explicitly warns that misrepresentation of headquarters information may result in withholding of available preference, disqualification from the resulting contract if the error is determined to be intentional, or contract voidance if discovered after award. The form clarifies that Local Business Preference may not be allowable and will not be provided in solicitations subject to federal funding.

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.
