About this file

This is an LGBTQ Applicant Opportunity Data Form used by the City of Philadelphia to collect diversity and inclusion information from businesses seeking to contract with the municipality. The form functions as a voluntary data collection instrument designed to identify companies beneficially owned and controlled by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) persons interested in doing business with the City. Applicants are asked to provide their business name, bid or opportunity number, and indicate whether their company is beneficially owned and controlled by LGBTQ persons, currently certified as an LGBTBE by the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) through the Philadelphia-based Independence Business Alliance (IBA), and whether they employ any LGBTBE-certified subcontractors.

The form also collects information regarding any additional third-party certifications held by LGBTQ-owned businesses, including designations from the Eastern Minority Supplier Development Council (ESMDC), Pennsylvania Unified Certification Program (PAUCP), Disability:IN, or Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), along with the specific certification category. The City has indicated that submitted data may be used for other projects at its discretion and may be made publicly available to support efforts to include LGBTQ-certified businesses in the City's vendor database as part of its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in procurement activities.
