Heavy Duty Shelving

The City of Philadelphia is soliciting quotes for a micro purchase of heavy duty shelving equipment through its PHLContracts eProcurement platform. This procurement opportunity, posted on April 8, 2026, with a deadline of April 16, 2026, seeks competitive quotes for multiple shelving units with specified dimensions, weight capacity, material composition, and configuration requirements. Bidders must submit quotes for all items listed to be eligible for award consideration. The City reserves the right to award the contract as a whole or by individual line item, whichever serves the City's best interest, and will select the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Vendors are prohibited from delivering products or providing services until receiving formal notification from the contracting department. All quotations must be submitted electronically through the PHLContracts platform and cannot exceed $35,000, adjusted annually by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) from January 1, 2020, rounded to the nearest $1,000. Pricing must be quoted net and exclusive of taxes, with delivery FOB Destination Point, and the contract term is limited to 365 days from the effective date.

There are no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the City has included an optional LGBTQ Applicant Opportunity Data Form to collect diversity metrics from bidders and encourage participation by LGBTQ Business Enterprises (LGBTBEs). All responding vendors must complete and submit a signed Consent and Authorization Agreement prior to bid closing, which establishes the terms under which vendors access and utilize the PHLContracts platform. Successful vendors must maintain workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, general liability insurance with a $500,000 per occurrence limit, and automobile liability insurance with a $300,000 per occurrence limit if applicable. The contract award value will not exceed the current micro purchase dollar threshold of $35,000, adjusted for inflation. Payment terms require invoice submission following product delivery and City approval, with all payments processed via electronic deposit. Vendors are responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including Philadelphia's nondiscrimination and tax requirements, and must certify that neither they nor their parent or subsidiary companies are indebted to the City for delinquent taxes or other outstanding obligations.
