The City of Philadelphia, specifically the Prisons agency, is soliciting quotes for the procurement of 2,800 denim blue blanket-lined work coats designed for cold-weather use in correctional and detention facilities. The coats must feature a 100% cotton denim outer shell of at least 11.5 oz, a shrink-resistant blanket lining composed of 65% acrylic and 35% polyester, and an insulation value (CLO) greater than 3. All products must be durable, machine washable, and delivered FOB Destination Point as inside deliveries within 30 to 45 calendar days of the purchase order issuance. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible seller, with a bid preference applied to certified Local Business Entities (LBEs) per Philadelphia Code Chapter 17-109. To be considered responsive, vendors must submit their quotes via the PHLContracts portal and include a manufacturer's specification sheet detailing the model, materials, and construction. Additionally, a signed Consent and Authorization Agreement is required for all quotes. Awarded vendors must maintain general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence, and those not using common carriers must also provide automobile liability and workers' compensation insurance. Payments are processed exclusively through electronic deposits via the City's vendor portal.
