Seller_Flat _Printing Program_Checklist~7.pdf

This is a seller checklist for the City of Philadelphia Procurement Department's Flat Printing Program, which outlines the procedural requirements for submitting competitive bids on a printing contract opportunity. The document provides step-by-step guidance for sellers completing their quote submissions through the PHLContracts online portal. Sellers must complete all required tabs—including General, Items, Questions, Terms & Conditions, Attachments, and Summary—to submit a responsive bid. The checklist specifies that sellers must answer a Local Business Entity (LBE) certification question to proceed, though the LBE Program does not apply to this particular flat printing opportunity. All mandatory questions must be answered, and sellers are required to quote all items listed to be eligible for award consideration.

The procurement will be awarded as a whole or by line item, whichever serves the City's best interest, to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Sellers must enter unit costs and optional discounts for each item in the Items Tab and may provide alternate descriptions or supplementary information through attachments. All terms and conditions of the bid must be accepted before submission, and sellers should attach any relevant supporting documents through the Attachments Tab. Importantly, sellers are instructed not to deliver or provide services until officially notified by the department. The contract opportunity is administered through the City of Philadelphia's PHLContracts.phila.gov platform.
