Seller_Software_Program_Checklist_B2727557.pdf

This is a Seller Checklist for the Software Program administered by the City of Philadelphia Procurement Department through the PHLContracts platform. The checklist outlines the procedural steps required for vendors submitting quotes for software purchases, including the Cisco Firepower product identified in the related contract opportunity. Vendors must complete a multi-step submission process beginning with the General Tab, where they declare Local Business Entity (LBE) certification status, though the LBE Program does not apply to the Software Program. The Items Tab requires vendors to enter unit costs and optional discounts for each listed item, with provisions for alternate descriptions or supplemental information. The checklist requires completion of all mandatory questions in the Questions Tab and acceptance of terms and conditions before submission.

The submission process mandates vendor compliance with downloading and saving all required attachments, completing any mandatory documentation, and uploading relevant supporting documents through the Attachments Tab. Vendors must review their complete quote in the Summary Tab and address all validation warnings before final submission. The City's procurement policy specifies that all software purchases will be awarded to the City's current vendors unless otherwise stated in Section A, and vendors must submit product literature upon request. This checklist serves as an operational guide ensuring standardized and complete bid submissions for software acquisitions in Pennsylvania's City of Philadelphia.
