VertiGIS GeoCortex Essentials Renewal

The City of Philadelphia is soliciting quotes for the renewal of VertiGIS GeoCortex Essentials software through the PHLContracts platform. This is a software licensing renewal procurement with a posted date of April 13, 2026, and a submission deadline of April 20, 2026. The procurement involves the purchase of VertiGIS GeoCortex Essentials software, with vendors required to submit unit costs and optional discounts for listed items through the online bidding platform. The submission process consists of 12 steps, requiring vendors to confirm their seller role, complete mandatory questions, provide pricing information, accept terms and conditions, and submit required attachments. The City will award this contract to its current software vendors unless otherwise specified. Vendors may be required to submit product literature detailing the features and capabilities of their offerings at the City's request. The procurement instructions are outlined in the Seller Software Program Checklist B2626873.pdf, which serves as a guide for completing the online bid submission process.

The Local Business Entity (LBE) Program does not apply to this software procurement, though vendors must answer the LBE certification question to proceed with submission. There are no specific set-asides or restrictions limiting eligibility to disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses for this particular solicitation. The procurement opportunity indicates that awards will be made to the City's current software vendors, suggesting that existing incumbency may influence the award decision. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the available documentation. Vendors should note that this is a renewal contract, indicating that the software is already in use by the City and integration with existing infrastructure is likely a prerequisite for successful implementation.
