Knit Cap (beanie) - Navy Blue

The City of Philadelphia is requesting quotes for knit caps (beanies) in navy blue under a micro purchase opportunity, with quotes due June 4, 2026. The award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and may be made as a whole or by line item at the City's discretion.

The specification calls for 100% acrylic, one-size-fits-most knit caps in navy color with a cuffless design. The product must be suitable for cold-weather and high-security applications.

Sellers must quote all line items to be eligible for award and may not commence delivery or services until receiving formal notification from the City. All quotes must be submitted through the PHLContracts electronic platform (www.PHLContracts.phila.gov). Submission requires execution of a Consent and Authorization Agreement prior to bid closing; vendors may attach the signed agreement to their vendor profile at registration or include it with their first quote. The agreement designates a Seller Administrator responsible for account management and requires signatures from appropriate company officers (President or Vice President and Secretary or Treasurer for corporations; partners or authorized signers for LLCs, partnerships, and sole proprietorships). Electronic scans are accepted as equivalent to original signatures.

The City has attached an optional LGBTQ Applicant Data Form requesting self-identification as an LGBTQ-owned business and current certification status through the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce or its local Philadelphia affiliate, the Independence Business Alliance, along with any additional certifications from organizations including ESMDC, PAUCP, Disability:IN, or WBENC. The Local Business Entity (LBE) Program does not apply to small order purchases, though vendors must answer the LBE certification question to proceed. For platform questions, contact Procurement Customer Service at 215-686-4755, 215-686-4720, 215-686-4721, or PHLContracts@phila.gov.
