Shop Hand Tools

The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department, Pennsylvania, is soliciting quotes for shop hand tools through a micro purchase order on PHLContracts, with quotes due November 5, 2026. Every vendor must quote all items to be eligible for award. Vendors must also have a signed Consent and Authorization Agreement on file before bid closing, since no quote is considered without it. Vendors must certify that neither the seller nor its parent or subsidiary companies are delinquent on taxes or other obligations to the City. The quote workflow asks about Local Business Entity (LBE) certification status, and the LGBTQ Applicant Data Form is voluntary.

The City may award the purchase as a whole or by line item to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and it may accept quotes from multiple sellers. The resulting contract is a requirements contract. Vendors must not deliver or perform until the department notifies them. Quoted prices are valid for 60 days from submission, and the contract term is limited to 365 days from the effective date. Products are delivered FOB Destination at prices exclusive of taxes, because the City is exempt from federal excise, transportation, and Pennsylvania sales and use taxes. Payment is made by electronic deposit after delivery and City approval. The micro purchase threshold is below $45,000, adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index.

Sellers must carry workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence, and automobile liability insurance of $300,000 per occurrence, naming the City as an additional insured. The contract is governed by Pennsylvania law and adjudicated in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas.
