Philadelphia Tax and Regulatory Status and Clearnance Statement.pdf

This is a Philadelphia Tax and Regulatory Status and Clearance Statement document required by the City of Philadelphia for entities bidding on or entering into contracts with the city. The statement certifies that the applicant organization has complied with Philadelphia tax requirements, regulatory obligations, and clearance procedures necessary to conduct business with municipal agencies. The document serves as a prerequisite attestation that bidders must obtain and submit as part of their proposal packages for city contracts, including those administered by the Department of Human Services. Completion of this clearance statement demonstrates the applicant's current compliance status with city tax accounts, business licensing requirements, and any outstanding violations or liens that would preclude contract eligibility.

The clearance statement is a mandatory administrative requirement rather than a pricing or programmatic document. It functions as a gatekeeping mechanism to ensure that only entities in good standing with the City of Philadelphia can compete for contracts. Applicants must obtain verification of their tax compliance status and any applicable clearances from the appropriate city departments before submitting their bids. The statement does not address contract amounts, funding sources, set-asides, or incumbency status, but rather confirms the applicant's eligibility to participate in the procurement process itself.
