About this file

This is an LGBTQ Applicant Opportunity Data Form used by the City of Philadelphia to collect demographic and certification information from organizations bidding on government contracts. The form is designed to identify businesses that are beneficially owned and controlled by individuals who self-identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Queer. Applicants are asked to indicate whether their business holds LGBTBE certification through the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) via the Independence Business Alliance (IBA), Philadelphia's local affiliate, and to identify any additional third-party certifications held through organizations such as the Eastern Minority Supplier Development Council (ESMDC), Pennsylvania Unified Certification Program (PAUCP), Disability:IN, or Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). The form also requests information about any subcontractors certified as LGBTBE.

The City of Philadelphia is collecting this data as part of its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in procurement activities. Response to the form is entirely voluntary, and the City has discretion to use submitted data for other projects and may make the data publicly available. Applicants are required to provide their business name, bid or opportunity number, and relevant certification status information. This initiative supports the City's effort to identify LGBTQ-owned businesses currently conducting business with the municipality and to expand the representation of LGBTQ certified enterprises within the City's vendor database.
