Texting Software

The City of Philadelphia is soliciting quotes for texting software through the PHLContracts portal, with quotes due July 16, 2026. All software purchases will be awarded to the City's current software vendors unless otherwise stated.

Vendors must submit through the PHLContracts portal (www.PHLContracts.phila.gov) and complete a twelve-step submission process: confirming seller role and Local Business Entity status in the General Tab; entering unit costs and discounts in the Items Tab; answering all mandatory questions in the Questions Tab; reviewing and accepting terms and conditions; uploading required documentation in the Attachments Tab; and reviewing the complete quote in the Summary tab before final submission. The Local Business Entity certification question must be answered regardless of applicability to the Software Program, though LBE program preference does not apply to software purchases. Vendors must save and continue after each tab to ensure completion; red validation messages will appear until all required information is entered.

Vendors may use the Alternate Description field to provide additional information or submit separate attachments to clarify their bids. The City may request vendors submit literature on products offered. All attachments listed in the Terms & Conditions Tab must be downloaded and reviewed before submission.
