LGBTQ_Applicant_Data_Form_B2727527.pdf

This is an LGBTQ Applicant Data Form related to a Medical Supplies procurement opportunity for the City of Pennsylvania. The form is designed to collect demographic information from applicants to monitor participation and compliance with LGBTQ-inclusive procurement practices. The document serves as a supplementary application form that bidders may be required to complete as part of the bidding process for the medical supplies contract.

The form requests applicants to voluntarily self-identify regarding sexual orientation and gender identity using standardized categories. Participation in providing this demographic data is optional, and applicants are assured that non-disclosure will not affect their eligibility for contract award. The information collected is used for statistical and compliance purposes to track the engagement of LGBTQ-owned or LGBTQ-inclusive businesses in government contracting opportunities. Submission of this form does not influence bid evaluation or award decisions and is maintained separately from the technical and financial proposal materials.
