Building Materials

The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department is soliciting bids for a requirements contract to supply building materials to various city agencies and departments on an as-needed basis. The scope of work includes the provision of drywall, metal studs, joint compounds, concrete reinforcement, rebar, sealants, adhesives, and other related wallboard and construction products. The successful seller must maintain an adequate inventory to support both delivery and over-the-counter service, providing a facility where the public can make in-person purchases. All materials must be newly manufactured, free from defects, and subject to quality verification via a Materials Testing Laboratory. The contract has an initial term of 12 months, with the option for the City to renew it annually for up to four additional one-year periods. Awards will be granted to the lowest responsive and responsible sellers, with a preference for Local Business Entities (LBE) and products manufactured in Philadelphia or Pennsylvania. Bidders must submit electronic quotes via PHLContracts by December 9, 2026, including required documentation such as a Certificate of Insurance, a Consent and Authorization Agreement, and a Solicitation and Participation Form. Compliance with the Pennsylvania Community and Worker Right to Know Act of 1984 is mandatory, requiring the submission of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all chemical substances.
