Photography

The City of Philadelphia is requesting quotes for photography services as a micro purchase (Contract B2727861), with quotes due September 11, 2026. The award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a whole-contract or line-item basis at the City's discretion; all items must be quoted to qualify for award consideration.

Vendors must submit a signed Consent and Authorization Agreement prior to bid closing through the PHLContracts eProcurement platform (PHLContracts.phila.gov). Signature requirements vary by entity type: corporations require signatures from a President or Vice President and a Secretary or Treasurer; limited liability companies, partnerships, and sole proprietorships require signatures from partners, owners, or authorized signers. The agreement may be attached to the vendor profile during registration or submitted with the first quote. A Seller Administrator must be designated to manage the company account. Electronic delivery of the executed agreement satisfies submission requirements.

Vendors must complete a Seller Checklist and comply with all stated requirements before submitting bids. Submission of an LGBTQ Applicant Data Form is voluntary and serves to track diversity and inclusion participation; the City may use collected data for other projects and make it publicly available. The form requests indication of LGBTQ ownership and control, current certifications through the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) via the Independence Business Alliance (IBA), and any subcontractor certifications.

Sellers must not deliver services or products until formally notified by the purchasing department. Prospective vendors may contact the Procurement Customer Service at PHLContracts@phila.gov or 215-686-4755, 215-686-4720, or 215-686-4721 for additional guidance.
