Bolt Cutters

The City of Philadelphia is requesting bids on bolt cutters as a micro purchase, with bids due September 4, 2026. Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a whole or line-item basis at the City's discretion; sellers must quote all items to be eligible. No delivery or services may commence until official department notification.

Bidders must submit quotes through the City's PHLContracts.phila.gov eProcurement platform and execute a Consent and Authorization Agreement prior to bid closing, either by attaching a scanned copy to their vendor profile or including it with their first quote. A designated Seller Administrator is required for account management and platform compliance. The LGBTQ Applicant Opportunity Data Form is available for voluntary submission to identify LGBTQ-owned businesses; the form also requests disclosure of NGLCC certification through the Independence Business Alliance (IBA) or other third-party certifications including PAUCP, ESMDC, Disability:IN, or WBENC, as well as identification of any certified LGBTQ subcontractors. While the Local Business Entity (LBE) certification question must be answered to proceed, the LBE Program does not apply to this small order purchase.

Standard terms address payment, inspection and acceptance, warranty obligations, seller financial stability, technical capability, past performance, insurance requirements, and compliance with applicable law. The City reserves the right to reject non-conforming bids or cancel the procurement if deemed in the public interest. Questions or account issues should be directed to PHLContracts Customer Service at 215-686-4755, 215-686-4720, 215-686-4721, or phlcontracts@phila.gov.
