Please choose one of the following to verify Local preference eligibility:
If you selected (A) or (B) in the question above, please download the below documents, complete, and upload.
A. Buy American Preference
(i) Purpose. The Board wishes to support the Buy American Act of 1933, as set forth in 41 U.S.C. Chapter 83, and the Presidential Executive Orders reiterating the intent to use the Buy American Act to the greatest extent permitted by law by providing a preference for the use of American-made Goods when County funds are expended. A domestic preference for Goods that are manufactured, assembled or produced in the United States encourages the selection and utilization of American-made Goods which in turn promotes the local and regional economy, as well as strengthens state and national economic interests. Further, a domestic preference promotes security, good government and the general convenience of the County’s citizens.
B. Applicability
A Buy American Preference shall apply when fifty-one percent (51%) of the components of the final Good manufactured, assembled or produced to be sold to the County is made in the United States and an affidavit supporting the assertion that fifty-one percent (51%) of the components of the Good is American manufactured, assembled or produced, along with supporting documentation, is submitted with the Bid or written Quote.
The Purchasing Director shall resolve any issues relating to the applicability of the Buy American Preference, and that decision on the applicability of whether a Buy American Preference applies shall not be disputed nor protested.
By selecting "Yes", the Bidder affirms that they qualify for a Buy American Preference as defined below and in the Clay County Purchasing Policy, Chapter 5, Purchasing Rules.
By selecting "No" he Bidder affirms that they do not qualify for a Buy American Preference as defined below and in the Clay County Purchasing Policy, Chapter 5, Purchasing Rules.

A Section 3 “Right to Match” preference shall be afforded to enhance the opportunities and ensure that employment and other economic opportunities generated by certain HUD Housing and/or Community Development Assistance funding shall, to the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing Federal, State, and local law and regulations, be directed to low- and very-low income persons and to business concerns which provide economic opportunities to low- and very-low income persons of local businesses to receive awards of Clay County contracts.
A “Section 3 Business” is defined as a business that provides evidence of their Section 3 certification at the time the bid is offered to the County; evidence shall not be provided after the bid closing time.
When a qualified and responsive, non-Section 3 business submits the lowest price bid, and the bid submitted by one or more qualified and responsive Section 3 Business is within ten percent (10%) of the price submitted by the non-Section 3 business, then the Section 3 Business with the apparent lowest bid offer (i.e. the lowest Section 3 bidder) shall have the opportunity to submit, an offer to match the price(s) offered by the overall lowest, qualified and responsive bidder. In such instances, staff shall first verify if the lowest non-Section 3 bidder and the lowest Section 3 bidder are in fact qualified and responsive bidders. Next, the Purchasing Department shall determine if the lowest bidder meets the requirements of Section 287.087 F.S.
If the lowest Section 3 bidder meets the requirements of 287.087, F.S., the Purchasing Department shall invite the lowest Section 3 bidder to submit a matching offer to the Purchasing Department which shall be submitted within five (5) business days thereafter. If the lowest Section 3 bidder submits an offer that fully matches the lowest bid from the lowest non-Section 3 bidder tendered previously, then award shall be made to the Section3 bidder. If the lowest Section 3 bidder declines or is unable to match the lowest non- Section 3 bid price(s), then award will be made to the lowest overall qualified and responsive bidder. If the lowest Section 3 bidder does not meet the requirement of Section 287.087 F.S. and the lowest non- Section 3 bidder does, award will be made to the bidder that meets the requirements of the reference state law.
Bidder must complete and submit with their bid response the Affidavit and Certification for Claiming Status as a Section 3 Business which is included as part of this solicitation and their current Section 3 certification.
Failure on the part of a Bidder to submit this Affidavit with their bid response will preclude said Bidder from being considered for Section 3 preference on this solicitation.
A Bidder who misrepresents the Section 3 Preference status of its firm in a bid submitted to the County will lose the privilege to claim Section 3 Preference status for a period of up to one (1) year.
If necessary, the contracting agency may conduct discussions with qualified and responsive bidders determined to be in contention for being selected for award for the purpose of clarification to assure full understanding of, and verify qualifications and responsiveness to solicitation requirements.
