lactation room furniture

The City of Philadelphia is conducting a micro purchase for lactation room furniture, posted May 1, 2026, with a due date of May 8, 2026. This procurement will be awarded as a whole or by line item, at the City's discretion, to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Sellers must quote all items to be eligible for award and are prohibited from delivering or providing services until notified by the department. All quotes must be submitted electronically through the PHLContracts eProcurement platform by the specified submission date, with bid opening time determined by the system's displayed time. Qualified bidders must maintain specified insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, General Liability Insurance with a $500,000 per occurrence limit, and Automobile Liability Insurance with a $300,000 per occurrence limit. Vendors must also certify they are not indebted to the City for delinquent taxes or other obligations, and all quotes are valid for 60 days from the submission date. The evaluation criteria prioritize responsiveness and responsibility, with award based on lowest cost pricing.

There are no explicit set-aside designations limiting responses to specific enterprise types; however, the City is actively seeking to expand its vendor database with LGBTQ-owned businesses and encourages voluntary submission of the LGBTQ Applicant Data Form to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in procurement. Vendors are welcome to provide additional third-party certifications such as those from the Eastern Minority Supplier Development Council, Pennsylvania Unified Certification Program, Disability:IN, or Women's Business Enterprise National Council. Products must be delivered FOB Destination Point at quoted prices, with the City exempt from federal excise taxes, transportation taxes, and Pennsylvania Sales Tax. All prices quoted must be net and exclusive of taxes. The micro purchase dollar limit is capped at $43,000, adjusted annually by the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers from January 1, 2020 and rounded to the nearest $1,000. Payment is made via electronic deposit following delivery and City approval of products, with the contract term set at 365 days from the effective date specified in PHLContracts.
