About this file

This document is a Local Business Preference submittal form for the City of Austin, Texas, related to a procurement opportunity for three handheld Raman spectrometers with five-year warranties requested by the Tactical Investigation Division. The form is optional and designed to encourage local businesses to participate in City solicitations by allowing eligible offerors to voluntarily declare their local business status and potentially receive preference consideration during the evaluation process.

To qualify for local business preference, offerors must have their headquarters located within the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area, encompassing Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties. Headquarters is defined as either the location where owners or leadership provide direction and management, or the entity's administrative center where primary business and operational activities are managed. The City reserves the right to request additional information to verify an offeror's headquarters location and may withhold preference, disqualify an offeror, or void a contract award if any misrepresentation regarding headquarters location is discovered, particularly if determined to be intentional. Completion of this form is not required to submit an offer, and the local business preference program may not be available for solicitations subject to federal funding restrictions.

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.
