About this file
This is a Local Business Preference submittal form for the City of Austin, Texas, designed to encourage participation from locally-based businesses in municipal solicitations. The form allows offerors meeting specific criteria to voluntarily declare their eligibility for local business preference consideration. A local business is defined as any person or corporate entity with headquarters located within the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area, encompassing Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties. Headquarters location is established 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 important business and operational activities are managed. Participation in the Local Business Preference Program is optional and not required to submit an offer in response to the solicitation.
The City of Austin reserves the right to request additional information to verify an offeror's headquarters location using resources such as Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council mapping tools and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts database. Misrepresentation of headquarters information may result in withholding of any available preference, disqualification from the resulting contract if the error is deemed intentional, or contract voidance if the misrepresentation is discovered after award. The form requires offerors to provide their physical headquarters address and certify which functions are provided at that location, specifically designating whether it serves as the location of owners or leadership or as the entity's administrative center. Notably, this local business preference program is not available 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.
