The City of Philadelphia is requesting quotes for software purchases under a standardized vendor program, with quotes due August 26, 2026. All software awards will be made to the City's current vendors unless otherwise stated in Section A of the solicitation, establishing incumbent-vendor preference as the primary award mechanism.

Vendors must submit product literature at the City's request and complete submissions through the PHLContracts online platform. The submission process requires navigation of multiple tabs — General (for Local Business Entity certification status), Items (for unit costs and optional discounts), Questions (mandatory inquiries), Terms & Conditions (bid requirement acceptance), Attachments (supporting documentation), and Summary (validation before final submission). All validation messages must be resolved before the system permits submission. Vendors are responsible for accuracy of pricing, product descriptions, and required documentation.

The Local Business Entity Program does not apply to this Software Program procurement, though vendors must answer the certification question to proceed. The seller checklist attached to the opportunity provides step-by-step instructions for the PHLContracts submission process.
