LGBTQ_Applicant_Data_Form_B2727810.pdf.pdf

This is an LGBTQ Applicant Data Form related to a micro purchase for Blue Aluminum Canopy Frame Tents 8"x8' issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The form is designed to collect demographic information from applicants identifying as LGBTQ-owned businesses or enterprises seeking to participate in state and local contracting opportunities. The document establishes a mechanism for tracking and potentially prioritizing or providing opportunities to LGBTQ-identified vendors in the procurement process.

The form serves as a voluntary self-identification tool that allows applicants to disclose their LGBTQ status as part of the bidding process for this micro purchase. Completion of this form may be relevant to diversity contracting initiatives or set-aside programs the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania maintains. The micro purchase will be awarded as a whole or by line item, whichever serves the City's best interest, to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with all items required to be quoted for eligibility. Bidders must await notification from the department before delivery or provision of services commences.
