Tape measure

The City of Philadelphia is soliciting quotes for tape measures under micro-purchase FY27 B2728094, with quotes due October 5, 2026. The procurement will be awarded as a whole or by line item, whichever is in the best interest of the City, to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; sellers must quote all items to be eligible for award.

The contract period runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with no extensions permitted. The ceiling is $45,000, adjusted annually by the percentage increase in CPI-U from January 1, 2020 to the most recently published CPI-U and rounded to the nearest $1,000. All prices must be quoted net and exclusive of taxes.

Submission requires execution of a Consent and Authorization Agreement prior to bid closing, either by attachment to the vendor's PHLContracts profile during registration or as an attachment to the first quote submission. The agreement establishes vendor responsibility for platform use and binds the company to submitted quote terms. Vendors must designate a Seller Administrator and maintain password confidentiality; for corporations, the agreement must be signed by a President or Vice President and a Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, or Assistant Treasurer; for LLCs, partnerships, or sole proprietorships, authorized signers must execute it.

Required insurance includes workers' compensation at statutory limits, general liability with a $500,000 per occurrence combined single limit, and automobile liability with a $300,000 per occurrence combined single limit. Quotations remain valid for 60 days from submission. The City has attached an optional LGBTQ Applicant Data Form to support its diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives; submission is voluntary but allows vendors to self-identify as LGBTQ-owned and to report current NGLCC or third-party certifications. Delivery or service provision is prohibited until official department notification. Compliance with nondiscrimination provisions and tax indebtedness certifications is required.
