About this file

This is an LGBTQ Applicant Opportunity Data Form issued by the City of Philadelphia as part of its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in municipal procurement. The form is designed to collect information from applicants regarding LGBTQ business ownership and certification status for contract opportunities with the city. The document requests applicants to identify whether their business is beneficially owned and controlled by persons who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer, and whether the business holds current certification as an LGBTBE through the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) or its Philadelphia affiliate, the Independence Business Alliance (IBA). Additionally, the form inquires about any supplementary certifications from third-party agencies such as ESMDC, PAUCP, Disability:IN, or WBENC, as well as the LGBTBE certification status of any subcontractors involved in the project.

Submission of the form is entirely voluntary, and applicants grant the City of Philadelphia discretionary authority to utilize the collected data for other projects and to make it publicly available in the city's vendor database. The primary objective of this data collection initiative is to identify the number of LGBTQ-owned businesses currently engaged in or seeking to do business with the city, thereby supporting the municipality's broader diversity and inclusion procurement goals.
