About this file

This is an LGBTQ Data Form associated with a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) recycling and litter reduction program education and public relations contract opportunity. The form serves as a diversity and inclusion compliance document requiring contractor responses regarding LGBTQ-owned business status and employment practices. The document requests detailed information about the contractor's LGBTQ ownership percentages, management participation, and organizational policies related to LGBTQ employee protections and benefits. Respondents must certify their business classification status and provide supporting documentation of ownership claims, including personal financial statements and business formation documents.

The form functions as a self-certification mechanism for state contracting purposes, requiring contractors to disclose whether the business qualifies as an LGBTQ-owned, minority-owned, or women-owned enterprise. The Pennsylvania DEP uses this information to track diversity participation in procurement activities and may apply this data toward meeting diversity contracting goals or set-aside requirements for the education and public relations services related to the residential and commercial recycling program and litter reduction initiatives. Completion and submission of this form appears mandatory for bid consideration, with contractors required to provide accurate and truthful responses subject to verification and potential penalties for misrepresentation.
