I. INTRODUCTION

The Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) is organized under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to develop, acquire, lease and operate low-rent housing programs. The PHA is the largest housing agency in the commonwealth, and the fourth largest in the Nation. It has approximately 80,000 residents in 30 conventional developments and approximately 5,500 scattered site units. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is the primary funding agency for the Authority's housing operations, housing choice program, as well as all new construction, modernization and rehabilitation of the Philadelphia Housing Authority's housing units. PHA has an operating budget in excess of $300 million/year plus additional Section 8 revenues and comprehensive grant rehabilitation activity of approximately $75 million per year. PHA also receives Federal Title, Office of Aging, and other Federal, State, and private funding for operation of various social services for public housing residents.

PHA reserves the right to procure supplies or services on behalf of its affiliated entities and subsidiaries including several limited partnerships (Related Entities). In such case, PHA will generally advise the Contractor that the contract or task/delivery order is being issued on behalf of a Related Entity and provide any special instructions. However, failure of PHA to do so does not negate the Contractor's obligation to provide the supply or service ordered.
