renewal of SMS credits

The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department is soliciting quotes for the renewal of SMS credits through the PHLContracts portal. This software procurement is restricted to the City's current software vendors unless otherwise specified in the solicitation materials. Vendors must submit detailed quotes including product literature, unit costs, applicable discounts, and Local Business Entity (LBE) certification status through a twelve-step submission process within the online PHLContracts system. The submission process requires vendors to complete multiple sections including General, Items, Questions, Terms & Conditions, Attachments, and Summary tabs, with mandatory responses to all designated questions and acceptance of the City's terms and conditions. All validation warnings must be resolved prior to quote submission. The opportunity was posted on April 27, 2026, with a deadline for quote submission on May 13, 2026.

The procurement includes a Local Business Entity (LBE) certification designation, requiring vendors to declare their LBE status as part of the submission process. Since this is a renewal of services with the City's current software vendors, preference is given to existing contractors already providing SMS credit services to Philadelphia. The solicitation does not specify a particular budget range or award value in the available documentation. Vendors must demonstrate their ability to provide SMS credits and submit supporting documentation as requested by the City through the designated attachments section of the PHLContracts portal.
