About this file

This is an LGBTQ Applicant Opportunity Data Form utilized by the City of Philadelphia to collect diversity information from vendors and contractors seeking to do business with the municipality. The form serves as a voluntary self-identification tool designed to identify companies beneficially owned and controlled by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) persons. The form requests applicants to disclose whether their business is LGBTQ-owned, whether they hold current certification as an LGBTBE (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Business Enterprise) through the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) or its local Philadelphia affiliate, the Independence Business Alliance (IBA), and whether any subcontractors involved in the project hold LGBTBE certifications. The form also inquires about certifications from other third-party certifying agencies, including the Eastern Minority Supplier Development Council (ESMDC), Pennsylvania Unified Certification Program (PAUCP), Disability:IN, and the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

The City of Philadelphia collects this data as part of its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in all procurement activities. Submission of the form is entirely voluntary, and applicants agree that the City may use the submitted data for other projects and may make it publicly available. The collected information will be utilized to identify the number of LGBTQ-owned businesses currently conducting business with the City and to facilitate the inclusion of LGBTQ-certified businesses into the City's vendor database. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or contract funding details are addressed within this data collection form.
